the FACT podcast (UK edition)

Are you sending out CVs for finance roles you're perfect for, only to hear... silence?

The problem isn't your experience; it's the algorithm. Over 90% of large companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that filter your application before a human ever sees it.
In this episode, we break down exactly why traditional F&A CVs fail and give you the framework to beat the bots.
We cover:
  • How to stop listing 'responsibilities' and start proving your 'impact'.
  • The art of tailoring: Mirroring keywords to get past the filter.
  • Using powerful metrics and the STAR method to quantify your value.
  • Crafting a 3-second summary that wows a hiring manager.
It's time to stop being invisible and start getting interviews.
