About Cernoria
How do I tailor my CV to a job ad?
Read the ad and note what it asks for: the role, the level, the tools and the words it repeats. Then put the parts of your experience that answer that at the top, using the same words. Cernoria does that reading and builds the CV for you, for every job.
What is an ATS and why does it matter?
It is the automatic filter many companies use to sort applications before a person reads them. It looks for the words of the job ad in your CV. Cernoria shows you which ones you are missing and builds the CV with them.
Does Cernoria make things up in my CV?
No. Your name, your contact details, your languages and your experience come from your profile. What changes for each job is what is highlighted and how it is told, not the facts.
Where do the jobs come from?
From sources that allow their data to be used and from the job alerts already landing in your inbox. No bots logging into your LinkedIn account.
Can I edit the CV it generates?
Yes. It comes out as text you can change, you pick the template and download it as PDF or Word. The CV is yours.
How much does it cost?
There is a free 3-day trial, no card needed. After that there are three plans: Essential (€8 a month), Pro (€15) and Unlimited (€25), VAT included and no lock-in.
Which languages does it work in?
Spanish, English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. The CV can come out in the language of the job ad.
What happens to my data?
It is yours. You can export or delete it whenever you like, and if you cancel, nothing you did is lost.
About the ATS
Does an ATS reject my CV automatically?
Hardly ever on its own. Most keep every CV and let the recruiter filter by keywords, years of experience or location. The real risk is that your details are read wrongly and the CV does not show up in those filters.
Which does an ATS read better: PDF or Word?
Both, as long as the PDF has text and is not an image. A PDF exported from Word or Google Docs reads fine; a scan or a photo has no text to read.
Are two columns, tables and icons a problem?
They can be. Some readers mix up the columns or skip what sits inside a table or an icon. A single column with clear headings is the safest; with two columns, it is worth checking here how it comes out.
Is my CV stored?
No. It is read, the result is shown and it is discarded. No account needed.
Does this tell me which keywords are missing for a job ad?
No: it shows what an ATS understands from the CV in general. To see which words a specific job ad asks for, and get your CV tailored to it, there is Cernoria, with a 3-day free trial.
