Resume Version Manager

Goals

Maintain:

• a clean master profile;
• role-family base resumes;
• job-specific variants;
• application outcome history;
• evidence/version traceability.

Recommended Structure

Master Profile

Keep factual source data only:

• education;
• experience;
• projects;
• skills;
• credentials;
• verified metrics with provenance;
• links.

Base Variants

Examples:

• Backend_FullStack
• Applied_AI_ML
• ERP_Data

Job-Specific Variant Record

Channel	Direct / Referral / Campus / Recruiter
Eligibility	Meets / Unclear / Mismatch
Required evidence	6 direct / 1 indirect / 1 missing
Outcome	Pending / Assessment / Interview / Rejected / Offer / Withdrawn
Notes	...

Do not store a universal "match score" column.

Outcome Definitions

• Pending — no decision yet.
• Assessment — assessment received.
• Interview — interview stage reached.
• Rejected — explicit rejection received.
• Offer — offer received.
• Withdrawn — candidate withdrew.
• Closed/Unknown — role closed or outcome unknown.

Do not automatically convert "no response after N weeks" into rejection. Keep it Pending or Closed/Unknown depending on evidence.

Versioning Rules

• Never overwrite the master profile with speculative job keywords.
• Store measured metrics with source/context.
• When project repositories change materially, re-audit their resume descriptions.
• Preserve the exact submitted PDF for each important application when practical.

Analysis

After enough observations, compare:

• role families;
• channels;
• eligibility patterns;
• pre-assessment vs post-assessment stops;
• which project combinations appeared in interview-generating applications.

Treat these as descriptive observations. Do not claim causal relationships from small samples.

Guardrails

• No callback probability.
• No invented causal conclusions.
• No "no response = rejected" rule.
• No ATS score history.
