The #1 mistake that gets tech CVs rejected
Most companies use software to scan CVs before a recruiter sees them. It's called an ATS — Applicant Tracking System.
If your CV isn't formatted correctly, it can be rejected before a recruiter ever sees it.
ATS will probably reject your CV if it:
was made in a design tool (e.g. Canva, Figma)
uses columns, text boxes, or complex layouts
includes icons or graphics (e.g. star ratings for skills)
Your CV should be a plain document (Word, Google Docs, or LaTeX) with clean text, standard headings, and bullet points.
This is one of 10 common mistakes we've found on international tech CVs.
