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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
What CVpass does for your job search
ATS score out of 100
Criterion by criterion: readability, sections, keywords, numbers.
Your CV vs. the job posting
Paste the work-study posting: you'll see the keywords you're missing.
Line-by-line fixes
You accept or ignore them. The AI makes nothing up: it shows you where to put your real numbers.
Clean PDF, cover letter, LinkedIn
A single-column CV ATS can read, a short cover letter, a LinkedIn headline.
And for what comes next: the application tracker (follow-ups included) and the interview coach.
