Five things on your CV
that get it rejected

This isn't rare. It's how most South Asian CVs get formatted, and applicant tracking systems reject that format before a recruiter ever opens it.

Flagged

"CGPA: 8.4 / 10"

Fixed

"First-class equivalent (3.94 GPA conversion)"

Before / After

"CGPA: 8.4 / 10"

UK and Canadian recruiters don't recognise the scale. Your top-decile result reads as an unknown fraction.

Photograph in the header

UK and CA ATS systems discard CVs with photos. Legally, employers can't request one — having it flags the application immediately.

Before / After

"Date of Birth: 20/03/1995"

Including personal details is an Equality Act flag in UK applications. It signals a CV formatted for a different market before the first line is read.

"Declaration: I hereby declare…"

Fixed

Declaration section removed.

Before / After

"Declaration: I hereby declare…"

From people who've made the move.

“I'd been applying for months with the same experience on a different CV. The IIT framing was what I'd been getting wrong the whole time. They knew exactly how to translate it for a UK recruiter.”

“I had no idea the CGPA was the problem. Once it was rewritten as a GPA equivalent with the right context around my degree, things started moving. Should have done this months earlier.”

“The Australian selection criteria was the part I didn't know existed. I was writing a CV when I needed to be writing a different kind of document entirely. They sorted it without me having to explain what it even was.”

Why I built this.

Over the years I've made friends everywhere California, Europe, places work took me. And I kept watching the same thing happen. Brilliant people, genuinely talented, visas running out. They'd apply for jobs and nothing.

So I'd help them. Rewrite the CV, cut what didn't translate, reposition things. And it worked. Suddenly there were interviews, offers.

That's how DesiCV started. Not because of a lack of talent. Just that nobody could see the resume in the first place.

The questions worth asking.

No. We change the format and framing, not the substance. Your experience, your achievements, and your voice stay intact. What we remove is the formatting that flags you as from a different market before the first line is read. The result sounds like you, written for the right audience.

Both can improve your writing. Neither knows that CGPA needs a GPA conversion, that 'Infosys Ltd.' needs context for a recruiter who has never heard of it, or that a Declaration section is invisible in the UK. This is domain knowledge about two different job markets. You can't prompt it into a general-purpose AI.

We remove or convert: photo, date of birth, marital status, declaration section, CGPA without conversion, objective statements, and non-local phone formats. We add or re-frame: GPA equivalents, company context (size, revenue, sector), education context for institutions unfamiliar to your target market, professional summary, and market-specific section order. Your actual career history is preserved exactly.

No, and we won't claim that. Your CV is one variable in a hiring process with many others. What we can say is that your formatting will no longer be the reason you don't get past the first filter, which for South Asian applicants in UK, CA, and AU markets is often the only filter that matters.

Usually 3 to 4 business days, 5 at most. We'll email you as soon as it's done.

Yes. We use it to do the work, nothing else. We don't sell it, train on it, or keep it after your revision period closes.

A PDF formatted to the conventions of your target country. No watermark, ready to submit.

One free revision is included with every order. Reply to your delivery email within 7 days with what you'd like changed and we'll sort it.

Not yet. UAE, US, Germany, Singapore, and Remote/Global are next. Drop your email on the Destinations page and we'll let you know when yours opens.
