Effortlessly Convert CVs to a Master Google Sheet with n8n

Transform your PDF resume into a structured Google Sheet database with this powerful n8n automation workflow. Simply upload your CV and watch as it automatically extracts every experience, education entry, skill, and contact detail into organized tabs – creating your personal "Master CV" repository for future automation projects.

What This Workflow Does

This n8n workflow converts any PDF resume into a comprehensive Google Sheet database through five automated steps. Upload your CV via the web form trigger, and the easybits Extractor immediately pulls structured data including work experiences, education history, skills, and personal summary. A code node intelligently splits this information into separate datasets, then four parallel branches simultaneously populate your Master CV Google Sheet across dedicated tabs: Master CV (roles and companies), Education (degrees and institutions), Skills (individual competencies), and Summary (contact details and professional overview).

Use Cases

• Job Application Automation: Create a structured CV database to power job-tailoring workflows that customize applications for specific roles
• Skills Gap Analysis: Build automated systems that compare your extracted skills against job requirements
• Application Tracking: Use your Master CV data as input for comprehensive job application management workflows
