Input CV (Markdown)

Job Description

Candidate Profile

Name: {{NAME}}
Email: {{EMAIL}}
Location: {{LOCATION}}

Instructions

Read and understand the CV and job description carefully. Identify:
- The candidate's genuine experience and skills (do not invent)
- The job's key requirements and priorities
- Vocabulary and keywords from the JD that match the candidate's real work
Keyword Injection: Reformulate the candidate's real experience using language from the JD. For example, if the JD says "cloud infrastructure" and the CV mentions "AWS deployment", reframe it as "cloud infrastructure deployment on AWS". Only use real JD vocabulary to frame existing experience.
Contact Header: The header contact-row MUST include EVERY contact line listed at the top of the source CV (Location, Email, Phone, LinkedIn, GitHub, Clearance, etc.). Do not silently drop any. For LinkedIn/GitHub, the href attribute MUST be the URL EXACTLY as written in the source CV (do not rewrite, shorten, or decode percent-encoded characters). But the visible link TEXT should be a clean short form: linkedin.com/in/<slug> or github.com/<user> — strip protocol, www., trailing slash, and any percent-encoded characters or emoji from the display text only. Example: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe/">linkedin.com/in/johndoe</a>.
Structure: Keep the CV structure:
- Professional Summary (tailored to the role)
- Core Competencies (sorted by relevance to JD, limit 10-15)
- Work Experience (re-ordered by relevance, with bullets tailored)
- Projects (include only directly relevant ones)
- Education
- Certifications
- Skills (organized by category, emphasize JD-relevant categories)
Tone: Professional, confident, action-oriented. Use strong verbs.
Length: Target single page when possible (11px base font, 8.5" × 11" page).
Design: Use the Space Grotesk + DM Sans design with:
- Cyan-to-purple gradient header (hsl(187,74%,32%) → hsl(270,70%,45%))
- Competency tags in cyan background
- Company names and project titles in purple
- All fonts at absolute paths: ${APEX_ROOT}/fonts/
Output Format: Return ONLY the complete, valid HTML document. No preamble, no explanation, no markdown fence. The HTML must:
- Be valid, self-contained HTML5
- Include all embedded CSS (no external stylesheets except fonts)
- Have font-face declarations with absolute paths
- Be ready to print or convert to PDF via Chromium
- Use proper HTML escaping for special characters
Never:
- Invent skills or experience
- Exaggerate timelines or responsibilities
- Remove factual content (only reorder/reframe)
- Use relative font paths
- Include commented-out HTML

Example Output Structure (HTML only):
