The hiring bar at this stage (, Healthcare, Diagnostics): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use X-Zell's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a <50-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
