A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Zepto's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a 200+-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Zepto is dealing with right now — is growing fast after their null round, and what you'd do about it.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
