Every January, our group fills up with familiar posts.
“I’m starting my job search again.”
“I need to update my CV.”
“Where do I even begin?”

And honestly, that feeling never really changes. New year. New hopes. Same nerves.

That’s exactly why we wanted to begin this year with something simple and genuinely helpful for this community.

We’ve just added a brand new free resume template on HatchCV called Plain Minimalist.

No colours fighting for attention.
No fancy graphics that confuse ATS systems.
No clutter.

Just a clean, modern layout that puts the focus where it should be.
Your experience. Your skills. Your impact.

If you are refreshing your CV this year or starting from scratch, this template is designed to make that first step feel easier.

You can try it completely free here:

Our hope for this group this year is simple.
More confidence.
More interviews.
More wins.

If you do use the template, drop a comment and tell us how your job search is going. You are not doing this alone.

Here’s to new beginnings and better opportunities ahead 🚀

💼 Are you using the right keywords in your resume for 2025?

Every week, thousands of great resumes get missed — not because the candidates lack skills, but because they’re not speaking the same language as recruiters or ATS systems.

In this guide, you’ll learn:
✅ What resume keywords are and why they matter

Here's a quick tip for anyone looking for a new role: Your LinkedIn profile and your CV are NOT the same thing!

Here’s a simple breakdown:

🚀 Your LinkedIn Profile is for:

Discovery: Using the right keywords so recruiters can find you.

Storytelling: Your 'About' section is your chance to shine!

Proof: Showing off recommendations and examples of your work.

🎯 Your CV is for:

Targeting: Customising it for every single job you apply for.

Screening: Keeping it short (1-2 pages) and easy to read.

Facts: Using bullet points with hard numbers to prove your impact.

Make sure your dates and job titles are consistent, but don't just copy and paste the rest!

Ever feel like your CV is just disappearing into a black hole? 🕳️

You spend hours tailoring it, hit 'submit,' and then... silence. It's one of the most frustrating parts of the job search.

Here's a secret: Recruiters don't read your CV at first. They scan it. You have about 6-10 seconds to make them stop and pay attention.

So, how do you make every second count? 🤔

We're pulling back the curtain and sharing exactly what recruiters are trained to look for. In our new blog post, we cover:

✨ How to format your CV so a human can actually read it quickly. ✨ The "red flags" that get you put in the 'no' pile instantly. ✨ How to use the right keywords to get past the (ATS) robots.

Stop guessing and start writing a CV that gets you interviews! 📈

Tired of sending out dozens (or hundreds!) of resumes and only hearing... silence? 😫 It's one of the most frustrating feelings.

Here's a secret: It's probably not you. It's the system.

Most resumes are automatically rejected by bots (called an "ATS") before a human ever sees them. And if they do get through? The average recruiter looks at them for just SIX SECONDS!

You can't show your life's work in six seconds. That's why we made HatchCV.

It's a new way to build a resume that actually gets you seen. It’s an interactive profile that helps you beat the bots and showcase your real projects and skills.

This is the difference between getting ignored and getting the interview. 👏

I've always felt my paper CV just doesn't do my story justice. It's flat, boring, and looks like everyone else's.
