Pass the ATS: what really matters
Most CVs are read by software before a human ever sees them. Keep your layout simple and machine-readable so the right keywords are actually found.
- Use a single-column layout — avoid tables and text boxes.
- Put key details in the body, never only in headers or footers.
- Match the job's exact wording for skills you genuinely have.
- Export selectable-text PDF or DOCX, never an image of your CV.
