@teacherkenny_: What works instead? ✔️ Sending CV’s in Word format (.docx) for portals so ATS picks up your keywords. ✔️ Keeping a PDF version only for direct recruiter emails (where formatting matters). ✔️ Optimizing for keywords — not design — because bots shortlist, not humans. I learned this the hard way when my “perfect PDF” CV’s got ignored 100+ times. The moment I switched, I started getting interviews. Stop letting a file format ruin your chances 🚫📄 #careercoach #resume #freshers #corporate #teacherkennytefl

Those systems are designed to read different document type and in case they cant parse some document, the IT or vendor fix that. We had issue where the Google Link CV was not processing and talk to the vendor and they added a feature that helped read those as well

it's not killing any chances, you're either not the Ideal candidate, or don't have the right connections

Nope. ATS can read binary (pdf) just as well as xml text (docx). You'd just end up with scrambled formatting with docx, and the fact that it will open another MS word instead of a just browser tab. You'd just annoy the shii out of them.

But if I use word-that means I have to go ahead and save certificates in a separate pdf for submission-which I hear recruiters hate.Which is it??
