How do I keep track of different CV versions?

Save each version as its own file instead of overwriting the last, name it by sector and month, and record which one you sent with each application. LucidTrack's Documents and CV picker do this for you, then show which version gets furthest.

Why should I track which CV I sent?

Interviewers ask about the CV in front of them. A record also shows which changes got you further, so you can build on the version that gets interviews.

Is the CV tracker free?

Yes. Storing CVs, attaching them to applications and CV performance are free. The AI CV suite is part of Pro.

Should I tailor my CV for every application?

Tailor it for each sector at least, and for the roles you care about most. A finance CV and a technology CV should lead with different experience. Keeping each tailored version, and recording where it went, is what shows you which one works.

CV Tracker

Know which CV each firm read

By the time an interview comes round, your CV has changed three times. LucidTrack keeps every version and remembers which one went where, so you can reread exactly what the interviewer has in front of them.

Over a season you tailor your CV for a sector, add a new role, rewrite a weak section. The CV tracker keeps every version in Documents, lets you attach the one you sent to each application, and shows how far applications with each version get.

Keep every version

Save each change as a new version instead of writing over the old one. Name them by sector and month, like Finance, Oct. Documents holds up to 10 CVs as PDFs.

Record which one you sent

When you apply, pick the CV you used on the application. Before an interview, open the exact version the firm read. If they reply months later, you still know what they saw.
