Does your CV get through the ATS?

Go through it point by point. It is what changes the outcome most, and it takes five minutes.

Why each point matters

0 of 8

A single column with running text: no tables and no text boxes.
A PDF exported from a word processor, not a photo or a scan of paper.
Your email and phone in the body of the CV, not in the header or inside an icon.
The job title written the way the offer writes it.
Tools under their exact name: «Google Ads», not «search engine campaigns».
The offer's terms that you actually did, and none that you did not.
Each term once, where it belongs. Repeating it adds nothing.
One file per job offer, not the same one for all of them.

Job search words, in one line

ATS: The software where a company receives and sorts applications. A database with a search box, not a robot that scores people.
Keywords: The terms in the offer (the role, the tools, the skills) that recruiters use to search for candidates inside the ATS.
Knockout requirement: What the offer demands no matter what: a language, a work permit, availability. If it is not met, the rest is never read.
Cover letter: A short text explaining why this offer and why you. It helps when it says something the CV cannot.
Salary range: The pay range planned for a role. Knowing it before the interview keeps you from asking too little or pricing yourself out.
Job alert: The email job boards send you when an offer matching a saved search is published.

Cernoria does this for every job offer.

It reads the offer, matches it against your profile and builds the CV around what that company is looking for. Without making anything up.
