This episode of The Job Hunting Podcast delves deep into the modern intricacies of crafting the perfect CV—especially for those eyeing senior positions. The resume landscape has evolved, and today's job seekers face a unique challenge: ensuring their CV appeals to automated systems (like ATS) and human recruiters.

We had a list of interesting questions and delved into each to help you job hunt successfully in the tech-driven recruitment process. This episode covers everything from understanding the role of keyword optimization to decoding the balance between human appeal and bot readability. We tackle pressing questions like: 

  • Are cover letters still relevant in the digital age? 
  • Is it worth investing in AI tools for job search optimization? 
  • And perhaps the most debated of them all: How do we present a wealth of experience without overwhelming the reader?

Special highlights include insights on:

  • The evolution of Applicant Tracking Systems and their impact on your job applications.
  • Crafting CVs for senior roles: the do's, don'ts, and the grey areas.
  • Ethical considerations when using advanced tools like ChatGPT in job hunting.
  • Practical tips for a CV that stands out, regardless of your career stage.
