# Ahmet Kerem Özbay — CV Pack (Research + Final Drafts)

This repository contains:
- The original CV provided as input (`source/`).
- Research notes + job ad corpus (`artifacts/cv_research/`).
- A refined 1-page CV in **Markdown**, plus a **DOCX** export.

## Quick start (what to open first)

If you only read 3 things:
- `artifacts/cv_research/Ahmet_Kerem_Ozbay_CV_EN.md` (current English CV, formatted to export to **1 PDF page**)
- `artifacts/cv_research/Ahmet_Kerem_Ozbay_CV_EN.docx` (Word version)
- `artifacts/cv_research/cv_bible_ahmet_kerem_ozbay.md` (rules to keep the CV consistent and easy to tailor)

## How to export PDF (Forgejo)

Forgejo can render Markdown as a PDF via a URL parameter.

1) Open the Markdown CV:
   - `artifacts/cv_research/Ahmet_Kerem_Ozbay_CV_EN.md`
2) Use the “raw PDF” export:
   - Append `?format=pdf` to the raw file URL.

Note: the PDF renderer can introduce page breaks depending on line wrapping. The current CV is intentionally formatted (collapsed sections) to keep it on **one page**.

## What this pack is for (honest constraints)

- This is a **presentation and targeting** pack (CV + job matching).
- It does **not** grant work authorization. If a role requires sponsorship, disclose it early and keep the story consistent.

## What each key file does

### CV drafts (the “deliverables”)
- `artifacts/cv_research/Ahmet_Kerem_Ozbay_CV_EN.md`
  - The current English CV.
  - Formatted for Forgejo PDF export to stay **single-page**.
- `artifacts/cv_research/Ahmet_Kerem_Ozbay_CV_EN.docx`
  - Word export of the same CV content.

### Guidance (how to keep improving without breaking format)
- `artifacts/cv_research/cv_bible_ahmet_kerem_ozbay.md`
  - Rules for structure, section ordering, wording, and tailoring.
  - Includes a checklist for customizing per job ad.

### Research + decision trail (why the CV is shaped this way)
- `artifacts/cv_research/debate_transcript.md`
  - A simulated but structured debate between HR, a recruiter, and 3 example employers.
  - Used to validate which edits are realistic and which are likely to be rejected.
- `artifacts/cv_research/cv_sector_best_practices.md`
  - Best-practice patterns extracted from comparable warehouse/logistics CV guides.

### Job ads (for tailoring and keyword mirroring)
- `artifacts/cv_research/job_ads_summary.md`
  - Index of collected job ads + links + local file pointers.
- `artifacts/cv_research/job_ads/*.json`
  - Raw structured job-ad payloads (search index hits).
- `artifacts/cv_research/job_ads/html/*.html`
  - Downloaded job-ad pages for offline review.

### Original input
- `source/AHMET_KEREM_OZBAY_CV.pdf`
  - The original CV PDF that was used as the base.

## How to update the CV without breaking the 1-page PDF

Recommended process:
1) Edit `artifacts/cv_research/Ahmet_Kerem_Ozbay_CV_EN.md` (keep the content truthful).
2) Re-export PDF and confirm it remains **1 page**.
3) If a section spills to page 2, compress by:
   - collapsing bullets into a single line separated by `•`
   - merging low-priority headings into a combined line (as currently done)
4) Regenerate DOCX if needed (Word formatting can be adjusted independently).
