- How to turn a list of tasks into concrete achievements
- How to explain a career change so your CV doesn’t look like it was sent by mistake
- What the same CV looks like presented the wrong way, then the right way
- 3 steps you can take the next day, using a real job ad
Have you sent your CV to dozens of job ads and heard nothing back?
You've probably told yourself the ATS rejected you, the automated filter. That's what everyone hears. Most of the time, it isn't true.
Many small and mid-sized companies don't use any automated filter at all. In the vast majority of cases, a person makes the decision. And that person doesn't read your CV from top to bottom. They scan it in a few seconds, looking for one thing: whether you fit the role they need to fill.
If they don't find the answer quickly, they move on.
Anca, who runs this webinar, was that person for 4 years. Now she'll show you what she saw from the other side of the screen.
This is for you if
you apply for jobs and get no response
you want to change fields and don't know how to explain that in your CV
you send the same CV everywhere and suspect that's the problem
About Anca
Anca spent 4 years in HR, working in recruitment, before moving into IT. So she knows what a career change looks like from both sides: as the recruiter reading the CV, and as someone who had to explain her own switch.
She never fully left HR behind. For the past 2 years she has mentored women who wanted to grow in their roles or move into IT without a technical background. She co-founded PurposeHat to help more people do the same.
