You studied for years. You did the internships. You showed up every day.

And a recruiter skipped you in 7 seconds because of this CV.

Same person on the left. One edit away from an interview.

I fix CVs. Free audit in my bio.

Your CV’s first line should answer one question: what job do you want?

“Motivated professional seeking new opportunities” answers nothing.
“Customer support specialist, 3 years in SaaS” answers it in 6 words.
Fix that line first.

4 things to check on your CV before you hit send:

1. Can a stranger tell the role you want from the top?
2. Can they tell your level (student, 3 years, senior)?
3. Is there at least one number in your first few bullets?
4. Is it one clean column, no tables or icons?

If any answer is no, fix that first.

A CV is not your life story.

It's a short pitch for one specific job.

If it doesn't read like it was written for that job, it gets skimmed like all the others in the pile.

How many applications have you sent this month, and how many replies did you get?

Reply with your two numbers and your target role. I'll tell you the first thing I'd fix.

[Meyah | CV & Job Search @yeahmeyah]

Open the job ad. Highlight the 5 words it repeats most.

If those words aren't in your CV, you're asking the recruiter to guess that you fit.

Use their words in your top three lines, as long as they're true.

Unpopular opinion: your CV doesn't need to look beautiful.

Icons, skill bars and two columns look great in Canva and tell a recruiter nothing.

"Excel: 4/5" means nothing.
"Built a budget model that cut reporting time from 2 days to 3 hours" means something.

Boring and clear beats pretty.

[Meyah | CV & Job Search @yeahmeyah]

The worst part of job hunting isn't the rejection. It's the silence.

You spend an evening on an application and hear nothing.

Often that silence isn't about you. It's a CV that didn't say the right thing in the first few seconds.

That part is fixable.

"Hard-working." "Team player." "Passionate."

Delete all three.

Every applicant writes them, and none of them can be checked.

Replace each one with something that can: a result, a number, a tool you used.

[Meyah | CV & Job Search @yeahmeyah]

What's the one thing on your CV you're unsure about?

A bullet, a gap, a job title, a skills section. Drop it below and I'll tell you whether to keep it, cut it or rewrite it.

[Meyah | CV & Job Search @yeahmeyah]

Your CV's first three lines decide if the rest gets read.

Line 1: the role you want
Line 2: your level and field
Line 3: one result with a number

Example: "Customer support specialist. 3 years in SaaS. Resolved 40+ tickets a day at 96% satisfaction."

Rewrite yours tonight.

Same job. Same person. Two CV lines.

Before: Helped customers with their questions.
After: Answered 40+ customer tickets a day and kept satisfaction at 96%.

The first one is a task. The second is proof.

Recruiters skim for proof.

100 applications. 2 replies.

You're not unlucky, and you're probably not unqualified.

A job opening gets about 240 applications. Whoever reads yours gives it a few seconds. One eye-tracking study put it at about 7.

If the top of your CV doesn't say who you are in that time, nothing below it gets read.

Stop sending the same CV to every job.

Take the job ad. Copy its job title and the 3 skills it repeats most into your top three lines, as long as they're true.

A recruiter skimming for seconds should see the match without hunting for it.

[Meyah | CV & Job Search @yeahmeyah]

Your CV's top section needs three things, in this order:

1. The role you want
2. Your level (years or stage)
3. One real result with a number

"Motivated professional seeking opportunities" is none of those.

Fix the top three lines first. Everything else matters less.

[Meyah | CV & Job Search @yeahmeyah]

I'm fixing the top third of 10 CVs for free this week.

You get a rewritten top section. I get a before/after I can share (name removed).

Reply "CV" and follow me so I can DM you. First 10 only.

@wtf_rema ChatGPT can write the sentences. It can't know which three things you've done that matter, so give it those first and let it handle only the wording.

[Meyah | CV & Job Search @yeahmeyah]

@InfluencerUg1 The jobs people do get from LinkedIn rarely come through the apply button. They come through a message to someone who already recognises the name.

[Meyah | CV & Job Search @yeahmeyah]

Same person. Two CV bullets.

Before: Responsible for managing social media accounts.
After: Grew Instagram from 2K to 11K followers in 6 months.

One gets skipped. One gets a closer look.

@ChuksEmma947401 Number 3 is the hardest one for graduates. If you have no work results yet, use course projects, societies and part-time jobs, and still put a number on each one. A recruiter skimming for seconds stops on figures, not adjectives.
