FAQ for Career Switcher CVs
Questions career switchers ask before scoring
Will an ATS auto-reject my CV?
Most won't if you mirror the target spec's top 8-10 keywords. We tell you which to add and where.
Should I keep my old career on the CV?
Yes, condensed. Recruiters need 6+ years of context; we flag if your timeline has unexplained gaps.
Does it understand bootcamp grad CVs?
Yes — we treat bootcamps and self-taught equally if portfolio + projects back them.
