Most people don't know this: the majority of companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that automatically filter resumes before a recruiter ever sees them.

If your CV doesn't have the right keywords, formatting, and structure — it gets binned. Doesn't matter how qualified you are.

Here's what ATS systems actually look for:

1. Exact keyword matches — If the job says "project management" and you wrote "managed projects," some systems won't catch it. You need to mirror the exact language from the job description.

2. Clean formatting — Fancy templates with columns, graphics, and text boxes? ATS can't parse them. Your "creative" CV is literally invisible.

3. Quantified results — "Increased sales by 23%" beats "responsible for sales" every time. Numbers signal impact.

4. Standard section headers — "Professional Experience" not "My Journey." ATS looks for conventional headers.

I built ResumeAI because I watched friends with solid degrees apply to 200+ jobs and hear nothing back. The problem was never their skills — it was how their CV presented them to machines.

If you're stuck in the application black hole, your CV is probably the bottleneck.
