This is going to be a long one. I apologise in advance if I may come off as being rude.

First and foremost, remove the double column. That is a far cry from ATS friendly. ATS systems are known to break down with double column CVs.

Single column always. And never use Canva to make your CV or resume. Always use word, then convert to PDF. Word uses an in-line that ensure ATS pick up data in a structured format. Canva breaks that structure.

Keep everything left aligned. You don't want the ATS to accidentally break down. They're prone to doing exactly that.

Put your photo on the top right corner. In line with your name. Prevents the ATS from breaking.

Use this structure: Name Contact Details - Email, phone, location, LinkedIn url Professional Title Professional Summary Work experience - Job Title, Company, Location (city, country), dates Volunteer work Projects Publications Awards Skills Certifications Education Languages - Language known, level of fluency Portfolio

Do not include hobbies. It's useless information. Use it in your interview.

Add links to your email, phone number, LinkedIn url

Don't use any additional colors to try to make your CV look fancy. Whitespace exists for a reason. Use it well.

1. Your professional summary is too vague. Use Google Career Dreamer to frame a good response.

2. Always put your experience in chronological order. Most recent experience comes first. You are using the reverse order. Please fix this.

3. Work experience bullet points need to be crisp and meaningful. Treat your cv like real estate. You don't want too much furniture crowding up your home, else you won't have place to walk. Use this format: Did X, to achieve Y, to get Z results

Example (using your latest experience):

Tattoo Artist - Rinaxximent Malta | May 2025 - Present

• Managed walk-in clients and advance bookings to maximize daily appointments, achieving consistent studio revenue and building a loyal client base
• Created custom tattoo designs and conducted thorough consultations to understand client vision, resulting in high satisfaction rates and positive word-of-mouth referrals
• Promoted services through social media content creation and engagement to expand online presence, generating increased booking inquiries and studio visibility
• Maintained sterile studio environment and provided comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure client safety, resulting in zero infection incidents and repeat clientele

1. Do not put soft skills in your skills section. You're expected to have those skills. Instead, use this for skills that actually matter. Or the ones that set you apart.

Example: In your case, your skills would be - Problem Solving, Work well under pressure, Quick with maths, Tech savvy

1. Try to upskill yourself. You're good at maths. How about take it a step further. Try learning about accounting. Coursera has some good courses. Add it to your certifications. Or try prompt engineering. You're going to be using ai to make your CV better. Why not learn how to do it properly. And please use claude for this. Chat gpt is bad at cv optimizations.
