I tried taking it off and got no interviews with that CV version.&lt;p&gt;Someone in HR or a recruiter will match up the technologies on the job post with your CV and only put you through if you list most of the ones they need.</text><parent_chain><item><author>pacMakaveli</author><text>This article is so frustrating. Get yourself on the market before spewing this shit. I recently been on the lookout for a new job and my first CV was personal. Full of my own words and description of what I did in the last 10+ years as a software engineer. I&amp;#x27;m a bit biased but it was a really good CV.
That got me 0 fucking offers. ZERO
I rewrote my CV based on some google suggestions and with ChatGPT. I got through 
 next stage on every single job I applied ( 10+ ) and even received offers, finally landing a new role.
