CV - Ivan Kokalovic

Stop getting rejected by ATS systems. This open-source CV template is designed specifically for Applicant Tracking Systems that silently reject 75% of resumes before a human ever sees them.

The Problem

Most developer resumes get rejected automatically because:

• Fancy designs break ATS parsing
• Multi-column layouts confuse text extraction
• Graphics and icons can't be read by automated systems
• PDF formatting doesn't always translate cleanly

The Solution

This template provides:

• DOCX format optimized for ATS parsing (Arial font, single column, clean structure)
• PDF format for human readers and printing
• Web version for easy sharing via link
• Open source - fork it and make it your own
