You’re looking for work but nobody is responding?

Intelligent machines

Many people look for jobs by answering ads, or sending their CVs through company website.

There are also many people who instead of focusing on content emphasise the graphic component of their CV to "impress", which is quite in keeping with the current culture of appearance...

The biggest and best-known companies receive the highest number of applications and need help in processing these.

There are software programs called ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) that sift through the myriad of CVs that companies receive. 

As sophisticated as these programs software can be, they tend to recognise certain outlines...

They are starting to become quite common even in Italy in branches of multinational companies (like Oracle) or Italian multinationals (e.g. Prysmiam).

I want to bring to your attention a recent LinkedIn post that examines this phenomenon. Read it carefully.

The bottom line is: concentrate on content and when it comes to form and structure... simplicity wins.
