A portal may extract fields from your CV, but the extracted candidate profile can differ from the document. Plan time to inspect names, employers, job titles, dates, education and contact details before submitting.
Use a predictable document structure
Put contact details in ordinary text and use familiar Experience, Education and Skills headings. Keep roles, employers and dates in a clear reading order.
Review every parsed field
An accurate CV does not guarantee accurate parsing. Compare the portal profile with the file and correct missing dates, broken employer names or misplaced qualifications.
Save the application evidence
Record the job URL, date, CV version, screening answers and confirmation number. This makes follow-up easier and prevents later edits from changing your record of what was submitted.
