I can't upload my CV

If you're having difficulty uploading your CV, make sure it meets these two criteria:

✔ Format: The file must be in PDF format.
✔ Size: It must not exceed 1.5 MB.

 

📌 Why is only the PDF format accepted?

The PDF format has two major advantages:

✅ Layout is always preserved

No matter what computer or software the recruiter is using, your CV will keep its original appearance:

  • Fonts and formatting remain unchanged.
  • Tables, paragraphs, and images stay in place.

🔒 A more secure file

Word files can contain viruses, which can cause issues when opening them. PDF files are safer and reduce these risks.

 

📌 Why must the file size not exceed 1.5 MB?

Many companies use ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) to analyze CVs. A file that is too large may cause compatibility and processing issues.

💡 Tip: If your file exceeds 1.5 MB, it's usually because of images and logos.

 

📉 How to reduce the size of your CV?

✂️ In Word:

1️⃣ Click File > Reduce File Size.

2️⃣ Remove cropped areas of images (click the image > Picture Tools > Compress Pictures > Check "Delete cropped areas of pictures" > Save).
3️⃣ Save your document as a PDF with an optimized compression setting.

 

🛠️ Using an online tool:

If your CV is already in PDF format, use a free compression tool like:

  • Smallpdf
  • ILovePDF

Once compressed, try uploading it again to the Career Center! 😊
