Each one is a PDF (a document you read or print; it opens on most phones). There is no Word CV in this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne guide is about ATS (computer software some companies use to sort and search CVs). It shows how to lay out your CV on the page. Nobody can promise ATS will read your CV correctly. The guide shows a 2-minute check you can do yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook here: this is 1 of the 4 lines for shop work (Retail). “Served an average of [X] customers per shift, with a balanced till at every cash-up”.
