Straight answers to the questions that come up in every hiring process. We write what we have checked ourselves.

- [Duties or achievements: how to describe experience on a CV](/en/blog/achievements-not-duties-on-a-cv): Why a list of duties tells a recruiter nothing about you, how to turn it into achievements even in jobs without numbers, and how to test each line.
- [How to tailor a CV to one job posting in twenty minutes](/en/blog/how-to-tailor-a-cv-to-a-job-posting): How to read a posting the way the person who wrote it does, what to change in your CV for one role, and the parts you never touch.
- [Personal information on a CV: what to include, what to skip](/en/blog/personal-information-on-a-cv): A photo helps you in Warsaw and hurts you in Chicago. Which personal fields are expected, which are liabilities, and one question to run over every line.
- [How to write a CV that gets through an ATS to a human](/en/blog/how-to-write-a-cv-that-gets-through-an-ats): What an applicant tracking system actually reads in your CV, which formatting choices cost you the rejection, and how to test your own file in two minutes.
- [How long should a CV be, and why page two is usually wasted](/en/blog/how-long-should-a-cv-be): Length follows from what you put on the page. What a recruiter reads in the first pass, when two pages are earned, and a test that tells you what to cut.
- [Salary expectations: when to name a number, and which one](/en/blog/salary-expectations): A range is read as its bottom figure. What the recruiter knows before they ask, why they may not be allowed to ask what you earn now, and how to set the floor.
- [Writing a first CV when you have no experience to put on it](/en/blog/cv-with-no-experience): You have no employment history but you do have evidence. What counts, what order to put it in, and the test that finds the lines saying nothing.
- [How long tech hiring takes and what to do when it goes quiet](/en/blog/how-long-does-tech-hiring-take): Realistic lengths for each stage, the right moment to follow up, and why silence almost never means what you think it means.
- [Employment gap on a CV: how to stop it being the question](/en/blog/employment-gap-on-a-cv): The recruiter counts the years and finds it anyway. One line closes the subject; leaving it blank turns it into guesswork you do not control.
- [The thank-you email after an interview: what to write](/en/blog/thank-you-email-after-an-interview): Gratitude changes nothing. One fact you did not get to say sometimes does. Plus the market split that decides whether skipping it is even noticed.
- [The cover letter in 2026: when it helps, when it wastes time](/en/blog/the-cover-letter-in-2026): Three situations where a cover letter actually changes a decision, and one test that tells you whether you are writing something nobody will read.
