What “complete” looks like in Nexus
For each important role, aim to capture:
- Responsibilities and outcomes (specific, not generic).
- Tools, skills, methods, and domains.
- Projects or initiatives worth reusing in interviews.
- Evidence: files or references where helpful.
When you build a CV, you select and tailor— you do not need to copy everything into every document.
Review imported records
CV import is a starting point. After import, check each record for:
- Missing or incorrect dates.
- Incomplete responsibilities.
- Generic wording.
- Duplicate skills.
- Fields marked Needs review.
Saving reviewed records makes cleaner data available to Dashboard, Studio, Lyra, and Interview.
