I used to have a beautiful graphic cv (English 1 side, french the other) but unless i was giving them a copy i printed or they were looking at it on screen, it looked shit when cropped and printed on a b&w photocopier

I made a sweet text only cv using a gray and black colour scheme (Eng 1 side, fr the other) and that parses well with ats systems, prints well with shitty office printers and is a small file size to send. I left out the photo as I'm not customer facing and people often assume im 5-10yrs older without my face

It breaks my heart to submit "shit", however it plays the system... A shitty system that saves HR time at the cost of awesome applicants
