Why Your CV Is Not Getting Interviews

If you are applying and hearing nothing, the problem is rarely you.

The most common reason a CV is ignored is not experience — it is formatting. Applicant tracking systems strip styling, tables and graphics, and what is left often makes no sense.

Use a single column, standard headings and consistent date formatting. Lead each bullet with a verb and an outcome.
