If You’re Qualified But Not Getting Interviews, Your CV Is Probably the Problem

You have the skills, education, and experience needed for a tech role,
but your applications are not turning into interviews.

Many tech professionals are rejected not because they lack skills, but because their CV does not communicate them effectively.

This page helps you understand why your CV isn’t working
and whether fixing it is the missing step in your job search.

Why Your CV Is Probably Not Getting Interviews

The CV Is Not Designed for ScanningThe Experience Section Lacks ImpactImportant signals are buried or unclear

The CV Is Not Designed for Scanning

The reality is:

Recruiters review a high volume of applications under time pressure. They are not evaluating CVs in detail or reconstructing a candidate’s story.

‍

What this means for you:

  • Recruiters do not read your CV line by line. Instead, they quickly scan it
  • Your CV is effectively ignored if key information is not immediately visible
  • Your CV is treated as unclear if it requires careful reading

The Experience Section Lacks Impact

The reality is:

When recruiters evaluate the CV's experience section, they look for quick indicators of responsibility and contribution to decide whether the experience is relevant.

When experience is presented only as a list of tasks or tools, that evaluation becomes difficult or inconclusive.

‍

What this means for you:

  • The significance of your experience is hard to assess when it is presented mainly as tasks
  • Your profile does not stand out when your impact is not immediately visible
  • Your experience is treated as generic when impact and contribution are not immediately clear

Important signals are buried or unclear

The reality is:

Not all information on a CV carries the same weight during evaluation. Recruiters look for a small number of key signals to quickly determine if the candidate might be a good fit.

‍

What this means for you:

  • Your profile is hard to understand if key signals are missing
  • Your CV is easier to skip when nothing important stands out clearly
  • Your experience can be considered irrelevant when important information is buried among secondary details

Thinking of fixing your CV yourself?

At this point, it’s reasonable to think that your CV just needs a few improvements.
‍
Most people try to fix these issues themselves before looking for help.

The problem is that CV issues are rarely obvious from the inside.
But why?

Why “Fixing It Yourself” Rarely Works

Trying to fix your CV on your own is a reasonable first reaction.
The difficulty is not effort or motivation.
‍
It is perspective.

1.
You are too close to your own experience

The reality is:

When you work on your own CV, you already know the context behind every role, project, and decision. You remember what was challenging, what you learned, and what mattered.

‍

This leads to:

  • What feels obvious to you is often not obvious to the recruiter
  • You are unlikely to notice gaps or weak signals in your own CV
  • You don’t evaluate your CV the way a recruiter does
2.
You don’t know what recruiters actually look for

The reality is:

Recruiters do not evaluate CVs the same way candidates write them. Without direct exposure to how CVs are screened and compared, it is difficult to know which signals influence that decision and which details have little impact.

‍

This leads to:

  • You focus on details that feel important but are treated as secondary by recruiters
  • You spend time improving parts of your CV that do not affect the decision
  • You change your CV and still get no interviews
3.
You rely on templates to solve structural problems

The reality is:

Templates can improve how a CV looks, but they do not decide what deserves emphasis, what can be removed, or how information should be prioritized. When the underlying structure is unclear, changes to formatting or color do not alter how the CV is evaluated.

‍

This leads to:

  • Your CV looks different without communicating anything new
  • You end up iterating on presentation while the real issues persist
  • Visual revisions feel productive, but the core signals remain unchanged
4.
You focus on what’s easy to change, not what matters

The reality is:

Most people focus on wording and presentation because those are visible and easy to change. Structural problems are harder to identify: what stands out, what is secondary, and how quickly the CV communicates relevance. Those structural decisions determine how the CV is evaluated, but they are not obvious from the inside.

‍

This leads to:

  • You keep adjusting wording and layout while the underlying problems remain
  • Your CV changes superficially, but the evaluation outcome stays the same
  • You invest time and effort without getting clearer feedback or results

If fixing it yourself doesn’t work, what does?

At this point, it’s clear that fixing your CV isn’t just about tweaking wording, changing colors, or adjusting layout.

You need a structured approach and guidance from people who can tell you what changes matter, which signals your CV needs to show, and what helps a profile stand out.

That’s where our experience and guidance can help you.
