Plain text CV: what screening software actually reads
Before it reaches a recruiter, a CV often goes through software that reduces it to text: columns, boxes, icons and tables all disappear. What is left of your background at that moment decides the rest. That is how a CV can be beautiful and unreadable at the same time.

When plain text is the right choice
Built-in application forms, corporate portals, job platform uploads, pasting into an email body rather than attaching: anywhere your CV is read by a machine before a human, plain text goes through cleanly.
