Work-study (alternance) special

Will your work-study CV get past recruiters' filters?

Many companies sort applications with software (an ATS) before a human reads them. CVpass is an AI tool for your work-study (alternance) CV: upload it and within seconds you'll know what could get it rejected. Free, no account needed.

No CV yet? Build it in 6 questions, the AI writes it for you.

Started your program without a company?

In France, an apprentice can start at a CFA (apprentice training centre) without an employer, but only for 3 months (article L6222-12-1 of the French Labour Code). After that, you need a signed contract. Every application rejected because of how your CV looks is time you don't have.

The 3 pitfalls we see most on work-study CVs

The ones we fix every day with students looking for a work-study position.

1

The two-column Canva CV

It looks nice, but many screening tools read columns out of order and lose part of the information. A single column, exported as a text PDF, is safer.

2

The job posting's words, rephrased

If the posting says “customer relationship management” and your CV says “customer contact,” the filter won't necessarily make the connection. Use the exact terms from the job you're targeting.

3

Zero numbers in your experience

“Ran the register” becomes “handled a register of up to €800 a day, zero discrepancies.” Even a small summer job can be quantified. It proves things, it reassures.
