ATS Resume Guide

Keywords, format and common ATS mistakes

Build a readable, ATS-friendly resume that makes your genuine experience easy for both software and recruiters to understand.

Use keywords naturally

Identify role-specific tools, skills and responsibilities from the job description. Include the ones you genuinely have in your summary, skills and experience—never keyword-stuff.

Choose a simple structure

Use familiar headings such as Summary, Experience, Education and Skills. Avoid placing vital information inside images, text boxes or complex tables.

Show evidence

Pair a responsibility with an outcome: what you did, how you did it and the result. Specific, truthful achievements help human review as well as keyword matching.
