Career guides

Small fixes. Big difference.

Practical advice for getting your CV past the software and in front of a person.

Format

Make your CV readable to an ATS

Use a single column, standard section headings, and real text rather than text inside images. Put the job title you're targeting near the top.

  • One column, no tables for layout
  • Headings like Experience, Education, Skills
  • Save as PDF or DOCX, not an image
Content

Match the posting, then rewrite

Paste the full job description, not a single line title. Relevance compares your experience with that exact text. After the scan, check each claim in the rewrite is still true.

  • Mirror the posting's key terms honestly
  • Lead each bullet with a result
  • Quantify where you can
Strategy

Search wide, tailor narrow

Use Job Match to find roles, read the full posting, then tailor for the few that fit best. One tailored CV for a specific role beats one generic file sent everywhere.

  • Shortlist with Saved
  • Tailor for your top roles
  • Track what you sent in History

Put it to the test.

Scan your CV against a real job and see which of these you've already nailed.
