Reentering the labor market is difficult for everyone after some major illness or injury, but for cancer patients it is even harder due to a large blank space on their résumé. Cancer@Work therefore devised a device to help such people find their place in the professional world. This device fills the blank space with experience and skills the patient gained while fighting cancer – written in white on white, invisible to the human eye but visible to applicant tracking systems – which allows their CVs to pass through the filters of recruiters’ software. These often exclude people with a longer period of inactivity on their CV.
