Can I Send My CV as an Image?

Attaching your CV as an image is generally not recommended. Most employers prefer CVs in text-based formats like PDF or Word, which are easier to read, edit, and parse by applicant tracking systems (ATS). An image file may not be compatible with these systems, making it harder for your application to be properly processed and reviewed. To ensure your CV is accessible and professional, stick to standard formats.
