Resume guides
ATS tips
01
Use standard section names
"Experience", "Education", "Skills". Parsers key on these; clever names get skipped.
02
Skip tables, columns and text boxes
Most parsers read left to right, top to bottom. Layout tricks scramble your history.
03
Mirror the posting's exact keywords
If they say "stakeholder management", say it too — synonyms score zero.
04
Dates in one consistent format
"Jan 2022 – Now" everywhere. Mixed formats read as gaps.
05
Export a real text PDF
Never a scan or image. If you can't select the text, neither can the parser.
