Wrong Format for EU Standards
Ukrainian CVs often include photos, personal details, and structures that EU recruiters don't expect. Some details that helped at home hurt your chances here.

Why Your CV Isn't Getting Responses in Europe
You have real experience. You've done the work. But applications disappear into silence. Here's why.
ATS Systems Filter You Out
Most European companies use Applicant Tracking Systems. These scan CVs before any human reads them. Wrong formatting or missing keywords means automatic rejection.
Translation Isn't Enough
Direct translation misses how recruiters actually search. Job titles, achievement descriptions, and keywords need to match your target country's hiring language.

Why Templates Aren't Enough
A template gives you structure. A mentor gives you strategy. They'll tell you which sections matter for your industry, which keywords to include, and what to cut.

I applied to 47 jobs with no response. My mentor found three critical problems in ten minutes. After rewriting my CV with her feedback, I got three interview invitations in two weeks. I start my new job in Berlin next month.
