Rohan Mehta

Rohan Mehta is a tech career coach and writer who works at the intersection of technical skills and career strategy. His focus is on one of the most frustrating experiences in modern job hunting: being qualified, technically capable, and still getting rejected before a human ever reads your application.

He spent three years working inside a graduate recruitment team at a technology firm, where he watched firsthand how ATS systems filtered applications and how recruiters evaluated the CVs that made it through. That experience gave him an unusually precise understanding of what technical hiring actually looks like — and what students consistently get wrong.

Rohan now helps students on the other side of that equation. He teaches them how to write ATS-friendly CVs, how to structure technical portfolios that communicate clearly to both algorithms and humans, and how to use tools like GitHub and SkillStory to show the depth of their practical experience in ways a traditional resume simply cannot.

At SkillStory, Rohan writes about CV building, technical portfolio strategy, and how students with strong technical skills can stop underselling themselves in the job market. His content is direct, practical, and grounded in how hiring actually works.

He is based in Hyderabad, consults with tech bootcamps and engineering colleges on graduate placement strategy, and mentors students one-on-one through their job search.
