An ATS CV in the chat, with your photo
How do I make a new ATS CV in the chat from my old PDF CV and my photo?
Press the "Write my CV" card or the "CV" button in the chat, and in the same message give your old CV (a scanned PDF works), your photo and the job it is for. The chat keeps every job and degree, fills a tested layout and invents nothing. An ATS CV has no photo unless you ask; the Bangladeshi format puts it top right. "Download PDF" gives a PDF whose text can be selected.
A new CV from your old one
On the chat's start page press the Write my CV card, or the CV button under the message box. Then give three things in the same message:
- Your old CV: a PDF, or a paper one scanned on your phone. A scanned PDF goes whole, as one file, too.
- A photo of yourself, if you want one on the CV.
- Two lines on which job it is for, and anything new.
The chat first takes out every job, degree, date and number from the old CV, then fills a tested layout. It drops none of them, and it invents nothing you did not say: a gap stays as [ ] and it asks afterwards. A word it cannot read on a scan is written [?], so check the new CV once.
Two formats: ATS or Bangladeshi
| Where it is going | Format | Photo |
| Abroad, remote, an MNC or a tech company | ATS | Only if you ask |
| Government, a bank, garments or a local firm | Bangladeshi | Top right |
Say which and that is what you get ("make it in the ATS format"). If you do not, the chat picks from the job and tells you in one line which it chose.
- ATS format: one column; Summary, Experience, Education and Skills; no date of birth, religion, father's name or marital status. One page with under 10 years of experience.
- Bangladeshi format: education from SSC and HSC, training, and a Personal Details section of "Label: value" lines; NID only for a government or bank job.
Adding your photo
Add your photo to the same message that asks for the CV. The Bangladeshi format places it top right. The ATS format has no photo, because many ATS systems cannot read one; if you still want it, write "put my photo on the CV".
Use a clear photo on a white or light background, facing the camera.
Saving it as a PDF
The CV arrives as a page inside the chat, with a Download PDF button on top. Press it and the print page opens; choose "Save as PDF" there. The text in this PDF can be selected and copied, and Bengali letters do not break, so ATS software can read it too. Why that matters is in Why Bangla text breaks in a PDF.
To change something, say it in the chat, for example "put the new job at the top of Experience".
