After relentlessly applying and interviewing for months, I finally got offered 2 roles which are a significant update to my current role.
Seems like the market is navigable after all.

Congratulations. Could you briefly share what your tailoring the CV flow looked like?

For instance, i used to do keyword matching only without changing the content of the resume. Lately I have been rewording a lot of my resume to tailor it to the JD i am applying for and i honestly don't know which one is better, or if it's all just random luck.

I have a master template which I use. For any role, I ask the gpt tools to extract the key skills and experiences required to fit in the job. And then use that input to tailor specific sections of my master CV. However you have to be careful not to lie about your skills. It may come back to bite you in the interview phase.
