Job83 practical guide
Build an accurate, ATS-friendly CV
Prepare a clear CV using real experience, readable sections, relevant keywords, and a final accuracy check.
Why this matters
An ATS-friendly CV is easy for software and people to read. It uses familiar headings, plain formatting, and vacancy-relevant wording while keeping every qualification, employer, date, and skill truthful.
What you need
- Correct contact details
- Education and qualification records
- Employment dates and responsibilities
- Real skills, licences, projects, and achievements
- The vacancy advert you want to target
Practical steps
- Start with accurate dates and facts.
- Use a short summary that fits your real background.
- Describe responsibilities with clear action and outcome language.
- Move genuinely relevant skills closer to the top.
- Export the PDF and check spelling, spacing, and every claim.
Common mistakes
- Adding requirements you do not meet
- Using images or columns that make text difficult to scan
- Sending one generic CV without reading the advert
- Leaving unexplained dates or inconsistent contact details
How to apply this guidance
Match with evidence, not copied phrases
Use the vacancy requirements to decide which truthful experience appears first. Repeating keywords without an example does not establish competence. A stronger entry names the task, context and result while keeping dates, employers and qualifications verifiable.
Make the document readable without special software
Use conventional headings, selectable text and a simple reading order. Export to PDF, reopen it on a phone and computer, and copy a paragraph into plain text. If the order becomes confusing, an employer or recruitment system may face the same problem.
Safety checks
- Never pay a recruiter, intermediary, or employer for a job or interview.
- Use the contact and submission method in the official vacancy; verify unexpected changes independently.
- Send identity and supporting documents only when the advert requires them and the recipient is legitimate.
