Resume Writing

Craft resumes that pass ATS filters and impress human reviewers.

ATS Optimization

Must-Do

• Use standard section headings: Experience, Education, Skills
• No tables, columns, or graphics in the main content
• Save as .docx (preferred) or plain PDF (not scanned)
• Use standard fonts: Arial, Calibri, Helvetica
• Include keywords from the job description verbatim

Avoid

• Headers/footers (ATS may miss content there)
• Icons, logos, or images
• Text boxes or floating elements
• Fancy formatting (templates with sidebars often fail ATS)
