Image
 Why do generic applications so often fail? Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS): Most medium to large companies use ATS software to scan applications for keywords before a human even sees them. If your CV doesn't contain enough relevant keywords from the job description, it simply won't make the cut. Recruiter Fatigue: Hiring managers and recruiters sift through hundreds of applications. They can spot a generic, untailored CV and cover letter in seconds. It signals a lack of genuine interest and effort.
