Lately I don’t get any reply to my CVs, how much would it cost me to hire a professional to write my CV? (sh.itjust.works)

I tried to rewrite my CV on multiple occasions but nothing works; so I’m thinking to hire someone else to write it for me. I don’t know how much it would cost nor where to find such a person

Thank you! Maybe it’s the graphic? Idk.

I’m applying to both Italian and English speaking positions, but oddly enough nobody ever calls me back. With the first version of my CV I never had this problem so I’m quite confused what changed. At some point I thought it was my mail provider (Apple + custom domain), cause I got an email asking for some info about my residence but I never got back which was odd… tho I asked them on LinkedIn and they never replied either so idk.

About React, I never used it professionally tho I did some fun projects (which I never finished) + contributed with a few PRs to voyager/wefwef

EDIT: in the programming languages section I had C and Python but I removed them since I never liked Python and I don’t remember anything about it and I thought C isn’t that much relevant tbf

(I updated my previous post with a couple more thoughts that you might have missed)

If residency is in question, I’d explicitly put it on your resume that you have authority to work in whatever country. Whatever makes the recruiters job easier.

I’ve never had any concerns over someone’s email provider, but I’d double check it’s not getting caught in some spam filter or something. (Usually folks call)

How long have you been having this problem? In the US, there’s been a ton of layoffs and we’ve had a ton of excellent candidates in the recent months applying. Additionally, hiring at my company has slowed down a bit since February and will probably pick up in April May timeframe.
