The original headline is about CV myths debunked by science. Let me rewrite it to be punchy and specific while preserving key facts.

Short summary

An evidence-based debunking of three pervasive CV myths: the 75% ATS auto-rejection rate (traced to a defunct sales pitch), the 40% more callbacks claim (a ghost citation), and the F-pattern reading rule (extrapolated from web page studies, never tested on CVs). The article cites real research, including a controlled trial showing writing assistance raises hire probability by 8%, and offers practical guidance grounded in actual studies.

• •75% ATS rejection rate is fabricated — ATS ranks, rarely auto-rejects
• •40% more callbacks statistic is a ghost citation with no real source
• •Writing quality has a measured causal effect: 8% increase in hire probability
