How Should I Format My CV / Resume For Automatic Parsers?
- tbh 13y agoI suggest that you apply to companies directly, with a cover letter tailored for each company/job, and avoid these generic CV-mangling systems.
- leknarf 13y agoYes, I strongly agree. You'd be better off applying directly. A machine readable CV just makes it easier for someone to match keywords. Those matches are almost always terrible. I.e., I see you have the word "javascript" on your resume, perhaps you'd like this "java" job post.
- wodenokoto 13y agoIt would also be easier to just manually fill out those pages than to develop a PDF that can be auto-read by all of them. But what's the fun in that?
- rosspanda 13y agoYou can hack your way passed the autoparsers, just by copying the advert text into your CV on a blank page in a tiny white font :-)
