Have you ever sent a well-written CV, perfectly matching a job\u2019s requirements \u2014 and still received no response? You might find yourself asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with me?\u201d The truth is, it\u2019s most likely not you \u2014 it\u2019s the hiring process and how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n

The numbers are clear: a typical job posting receives 250\u2013300 applications, and a recruiter spends only 6\u20137 seconds on each CV. On top of that, over 70% of CVs are automatically rejected by digital systems that filter candidates before a human even sees them.<\/span><\/p>\n

It sounds discouraging, but the good news is that you can do something about it. Discover how your CV is perceived and how to turn an overlooked CV into one that gets noticed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understand How an Automated System Reads Your CV<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most companies use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that scans incoming CVs and compares them to the job requirements. It doesn\u2019t look for people \u2014 it looks for keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if the job posting says \u201cJavaScript\u201d but you only wrote \u201cfront-end development,\u201d the system may not recognize you as a match. CVs with tables, columns, or images can be misread, and if you haven\u2019t included the exact experiences requested, your CV may be rejected without a human ever seeing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
