Treat CV extraction as a draft
Resume parsers can mistake a camera model for an employer, split a name incorrectly, or place a qualification under the wrong date. Importing a CV saves typing; it does not replace your review.
Confirm employer names, titles, dates, education, tools, and contact details. If a parser creates an entry you cannot explain, correct or remove it before an application uses it.
Separate what is known from what is missing
A missing skill entry does not automatically mean you have never used that skill. An explicit statement that you have never used it is different. Keep those distinctions clear so missing information is not turned into a confident answer.
For experience questions, use supported date ranges and avoid counting overlapping periods twice. For writing questions, keep a few approved examples that describe real work in your own voice.
Choose a CV for each direction
If you target distinct kinds of roles, a clear target helps the team connect the right titles, constraints, portfolio, and CV. A creative leadership track may use a different document from a hands-on production track.
Give the team the intended CV version once you have reviewed it. When replacing a document, make the change clear so offline applications do not continue using an outdated copy.
Review the whole application, not just the essay
Phone country codes, availability, salary periods, current employer, and work authorization can matter as much as a polished answer. Review what the form will actually send, including anything filled from a resume automatically.
If a question asks for a commitment you have not made—such as immediate availability, shift work, travel, or relocation—pause and decide. It is better to answer deliberately than let an assumption become a commitment in your name.
