A step-by-step guide to writing a CV that clears applicant tracking software.
Most rejected CVs never reach a human reader — they're filtered out by applicant tracking software before anyone sees them. This guide breaks down exactly how that filtering works and how to format, structure, and word your CV so it clears the system every time. You'll walk through the same section-by-section checklist our writers use on every paid resume project, plus ten real before/after rewrites showing the exact wording changes that moved a CV from "filtered out" to "shortlisted."
