applything
Your information once · a CV per listing
Spend the time on the call, not the CV.
Every application means reworking a CV by hand: reordering roles, rewriting bullets, fighting a template, exporting a PDF. applything takes your information once and turns each listing into a tailored, formal CV, typeset in LaTeX, so the time goes into calling the businesses.
Act I
Tailoring by hand.
Five promising listings this week. Each deserves its own CV, and each one costs an evening that should have gone into the phone call.
01 · The template
Open last month's CV.
Find the most recent version, save it under a new name, and start moving roles and bullets around for this listing.
02 · Ask a chatbot
Ask a chatbot to help.
It writes lovely bullets, drops the LaTeX on the floor, and invents a skill you don't have. You paste the good parts back by hand.
03 · The PDF
Then fight the typesetting.
A bullet runs onto a second page, an ampersand breaks the build, and the file name has to say which company it's for.
That was one application of five.

Act II
The applything way.
Your information lives in one file you keep up to date. Each listing turns it into a CV that fits, and nothing on it is made up.
01 · You, once
Your information, in one place.
Roles, dates, education and the things you've built, written once in plain text. It's the only file you ever edit.
02 · A listing in
A listing in, a CV out.
It reads the listing, picks what matters for it from your file, reorders and rewrites toward it, and typesets the result. It never adds what isn't in your file.
03 · The PDF
A formal CV, every time.
The same Harvard layout on every application, one page, named for the company. The formalities are done, and the evening goes to the call.

One source of truth
Your information in one plain file. Every CV is made from it, so updating a role updates every CV that follows.

Tailored, not invented
The model picks, orders and rewrites toward the listing. It can only use what's in your file, and nothing is added.

Formal output
Typeset with LaTeX in a Harvard-style template: one clean PDF per application, named for the company.
