Resume rejections are a common part of the job search process in both Brazilian and American contexts. In Brazil, it's becoming increasingly common to receive automated rejection emails early in the screening process due to digital applicant tracking systems (ATS). Cultural expectations around feedback differ: American companies rarely provide detailed rejection reasons, while some Brazilian employers may offer brief explanations. The term 'currículo' is standard in Brazil while 'CV' is preferred in Portugal.
