Two things go wrong with the average free CV builder, which is an American resume tool wearing a different label. It deletes your personal details block and crushes eight years onto one page, and it hands back organized, center and labor to a reader in Manchester or Munich. This one writes to the convention you are actually applying under.
Paste the prompt into Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot, give it your roles, your dates and the advert. It asks what is missing, then returns a two page CV: personal details at the top, a personal profile, experience in reverse order, education placed where your country puts it, British spelling throughout, and a Europass version if the employer specifies one. It handles career breaks, contract runs and degrees awarded in another country.
Academic CV Mode
Applying for a lectureship, postdoc, PhD place or grant? The prompt switches to an academic curriculum vitae with the sections that panel expects.
-
Publications: grouped by type, one citation style, your name in bold, and every status kept honest (under review stays under review)
-
Grants and teaching: funder, scheme, your real role and dates; modules with level and role
-
Academic order: research profile, appointments, education with thesis and supervisor, then grants, publications, teaching, talks and service
-
Funder rules first: any page limit or required template overrides the default, with a two-page short version on request
