Description
When applying for jobs, you should tailor your CV to the specific job you're applying for. But you generally don't make a brand new CV from scratch for every application. It's useful to have a base CV with most of the information, which you can adjust.
Prepare a CV in a Google Doc which targets the kind of job you're hoping to apply for in the future (probably a software engineering job).
Make sure to read [the CV guide](https://sdc.codeyourfuture.io/guides/employability/cvs/) and follow its instructions, including checking the checklist.
When your CV is ready:
1. Run it through [our automated CV reviewer](https://cv-eval.hosting.codeyourfuture.io/) and act on its feedback. If you're not sure about any of the feedback, reach out on Slack in [#cyf-profile-review](https://codeyourfutur-yov6609.slack.com/archives/C07PK9JUVUL).
2. After you've acted on that feedback, ask someone to review it on Slack in [#cyf-profile-review](https://codeyourfuture.slack.com/archives/C7MBLPR6F). Make clear in your request that this is a generic CV to use as a base for future applications.
Respond to any feedback received, and keep iterating until your CV is great.
