HyperApply generates a tailored CV from the job listing you’re already viewing in your browser.

Before you start

  • Make sure you’re signed in:

/docs/create-an-account-and-log-in

  • Make sure you uploaded a base CV:

/docs/add-your-base-cv

Step-by-step: generate a tailored CV

1. Open a job listing page.

2. Open the HyperApply panel.

3. Confirm the job context (title/company) looks correct.

4. Review suggested skills and requirements.

  • If something is irrelevant, deselect it (if the UI allows).
  • If something important is missing, note it—then adjust your base CV later.

5. Choose:

  • a template (layout)
  • a writing mode (tone)

6. Click Generate CV.

7. Review the output (fast checklist below).

8. Download as PDF.

Fast review checklist (60 seconds)

  • Summary: does it match the role’s focus?
  • Top skills: are they accurate and truly yours?
  • Experience bullets: do they highlight the most relevant work?
  • Claims: remove anything that feels like an exaggeration.
  • Length: ensure it’s not bloated.

Skill suggestions: how to use them well

Skill suggestions are most useful when you treat them as:

  • “What this role is asking for”

rather than

  • “What I should pretend I have”

Use them to:

  • reorder your skills
  • emphasize relevant projects
  • align phrasing with the job listing’s language

If the output feels too generic

Do one of these:

  • Add 1–2 specific outcomes/metrics to your base CV.
  • Switch to Balanced mode for cleaner, less “salesy” language.
  • Choose a simpler template for better readability.

FAQ

Does HyperApply store the full job description?

HyperApply processes the job listing content to generate outputs, but does not store the full job description text as part of your history.

Can I generate more than one version for the same job?

Yes—many users generate a Balanced version and a slightly punchier version, then choose the best.
