ATS Resume Tips
What makes a resume ATS-friendly
An Applicant Tracking System is software employers use to filter applications before a recruiter reads them. A resume that looks great as a PDF might still get rejected if the ATS can't parse it. These are the factors that matter most.
Use a single-column layout
Two-column and graphic-heavy resumes look impressive but often break ATS parsing. A single-column layout ensures your content is read in the right order.
Match the job description's keywords
ATS systems score your resume based on how many job-specific keywords it contains. Use the exact phrasing from the posting — not synonyms. Our AI resume fixer does this automatically.
Avoid headers and footers
Contact information placed in a PDF header or footer is often invisible to ATS parsers. Always put your name, email, and phone number in the main body of the document.
Use standard section headings
Section labels like "Work History" or "Employment" may not parse correctly. Stick to standard headings: Work Experience, Education, Skills, Summary — the terms ATS systems are trained to recognize.

What's the difference between the resume builder and the AI resume fixer?
The resume builder is for creating a resume from scratch — you enter your information and download a formatted PDF. The AI resume fixer is for tailoring an existing resume to a specific job: upload your resume, paste the job description, and the AI rewrites it with the right keywords and bullet points for that role. For best results, build your base resume here then run it through the fixer before each application.
