The CV That Gets Read

You have probably heard that 75% of CVs are rejected by software before a human sees them. Asked directly, 92% of recruiters say their systems reject nobody automatically, and most of them trace that figure back to social media posts and to the companies selling CV templates. So the gatekeeper is not a machine. It is a person with forty CVs to read before lunch, and that is a completely different problem to solve. This book solves it. What actually happens to your CV and in what order. Why the top third of page one carries the whole decision. How to turn duties into evidence, including when your work produces no numbers at all, which is where nearly every other CV book quietly abandons nurses, teachers, drivers and administrators. How to handle gaps, short stints, being let go, changing field, and being called overqualified. How to tailor in twenty minutes instead of rewriting. And which conventions change when you apply in another country, which almost no CV book mentions. Twelve worked rewrites, before and after, across work that does and does not produce numbers. No templates. No invented statistics. Nothing that cannot be defended in the interview it gets you.
