What is Professional DNA?

Professional DNA is getlandy’s name for the structured record it builds of your career: your roles, projects, skills and achievements, each tied to the evidence that supports it. It is built once through a conversation rather than a form, kept current as you work, and used as the source for every CV, cover letter, post and application you send.

How is it built?

Through an interview. getlandy asks about what you have done and why it mattered, in the way a colleague would, rather than presenting a form with sixty fields. Existing material — a CV, a portfolio, connected accounts — is read in alongside it so you are not retyping what already exists.

What comes out is not a transcript. It is a structured model: each role, project and skill recorded as a separate fact, with the evidence for it attached and the context that makes it legible to someone who was not there.

What is it used for?

Everything downstream. A CV tailored to a role, a cover letter, a LinkedIn post, an outreach message and an application are all generated from the same record, which is why they agree with each other. Rewriting your history for each one is what makes those documents drift apart.

It is also what an AI agent reads when it acts on your behalf. An agent working from a Professional DNA is working from facts you have confirmed, not from a guess assembled out of whatever it found about you online.

Who owns it?

You do. It is your record, you decide what it holds and who can see it, and it goes with you when you change job, tool or country. That is the difference between an identity and a profile.
