This description is not a comprehensive listing of activities, duties, or responsibilities that may be required of the employee. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may be assigned or changed at any time with or without notice.

What I changed: I kept the structure appropriate for Stantec’s careers site, strengthened the Philadelphia positioning, cleaned up grammar and HTML artifacts, and made the responsibilities and qualifications easier for candidates to scan without substantially changing the requirements of the original role.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
