Ghosted after perfect fit? Here’s a practical way to fix your CV (fast)

Use this focused, ATS-aware workflow to tailor your CV, mirror job-description language, strengthen outcome-led bullets, and avoid keyword stuffing.

A polished generic CV can still feel irrelevant when it does not use the language or priorities of the job description. Start by identifying the repeated requirements, then add the terms you genuinely meet inside evidence-led bullets. Use a clear verb, what you did, the outcome, and relevant context. Keep formatting simple, prioritise the most relevant project or role, and avoid copying keywords into an unsupported

list. No tool can guarantee interviews. Treat each application as a small experiment and keep the changes that make your experience clearer.
