Rejected 23 Times Before Landing Her Dream Role

I spent eight months sending applications into the void. Twenty-three rejections and counting. I started wondering if my marketing degree was worth anything at all.

A colleague mentioned SUAR during a coffee break. I was sceptical — another career tool promising miracles. But I had nothing left to lose, so I gave it a go.

The CV Scanner gave me 52 out of 100. That stung. My beautifully designed CV was invisible to ATS systems. No keywords, no metrics, no structure that machines could parse.

I rebuilt everything following SUAR's suggestions: added real numbers ("managed £1.2M campaign budget", "increased brand awareness by 34%"), restructured sections, and ran three interview simulations with the FMCG archetype.

Two weeks after my overhaul, Tesco called. The interviewer said my CV stood out because it "spoke their language". I got the offer with a 22% salary increase over my previous role.
