I'm still waiting on the resume builder that uses an llm to transform CVs into relevant titles and descriptions for adjacent related target positions.
I'm starting my job search for graduation next year and have found, but not used, Huntr.com

#13This screams of "if all you have is a hammer..." You just want/need a way to keep your CV in a source code format. Why not TeX/LaTeX?
LaTeX requires retaining a large installation. Python and a web browser are usually always there. Also here resume exists in a structured form. Recently posted[0] RenderCV[1] does something similar but outputting to TeX instead. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40472994 [1]: https://github.com/sinaatalay/rendercv

I used to have mine in LaTeX, rendering a nice PDF. But here's the thing, you're up against automated CV parsing systems that you don't have any insight into - a total black box. And it's a different black box with every recruiter. If your CV fails to parse, then it kicks out into a manual system where the recruiter has to add it all in. And as the market isn't wonderful right now, I would lean into making your CV as simple and congruent with their systems as possible. Which is to say, maddeningly, you should Just Use Microsoft Word.

Recruiters don't waste time manually adding CVs that don't parse, that's why recruitment platforms ask a pdf of the cv and a plain text copy from candidates or god forbid one of those awful forms to input your cv again line by line... and if they don't require that, I'll assume a not parsing cv will just not be dealt with at all.
