CV Version Switcher

How to use it

1. Upload a PDF or Word (.docx) file, paste the text, or open a saved .json file. The text is extracted on this computer and shown so you can check nothing is missing. 2. Review and edit each section: fix fields, add, delete or reorder entries, move misplaced items to the right section, and mark your first-author and selected publications. 3. Choose a version and watch the live preview change. 4. Export as PDF, Word, Markdown, or save the data as .json to continue later.

How the versions differ

Full academic CV — every section in the order search committees expect; all publications, numbered and grouped by type; grants with status and amounts; talks, teaching and service. Postdoc CV — research experience first; publications limited to first-author, selected and recent (last five years) papers with a note of the full count; fellowships, techniques, selected presentations and mentoring; at most four bullets per role. Industry resume — a professional summary and technical skills at the top, achievement bullets (three per role), compact education, a count of publications plus only the papers you select, awarded funding without amounts; talks, teaching and service are left out. Nothing is deleted when a version hides it — the preview lists what is hidden — and the tool warns when an industry resume runs past two pages.

Limits

Section detection uses headings and patterns, so unusual layouts may need more manual sorting — every extracted line is kept, and anything unplaced goes to “Other”. Scanned PDFs have no text to read. The keyword matcher only shows which frequent job-ad terms appear in your CV; it is not a hiring or screening score, and you should only add terms that truly describe your experience.
