ATS-Friendly Resume

Optimized to pass ATS software before human eyes ever see it.

Why ATS Matters

75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before a human reviews them. This template avoids the common formatting traps.

ATS-Safe Features

• Single-column layout (no tables, no columns, no text boxes)
• Standard section headers (Experience, Education, Skills - not creative synonyms)
• No graphics, icons, or images that ATS can’t parse
• Standard fonts (Calibri, Arial, Garamond)
• Chronological format (most ATS-friendly order)
• Keywords section mapped to common job description terms
• File format optimized for .docx parsing (not PDF)

What’s Different

• Job titles match standard industry terminology
• Dates in consistent MM/YYYY format
• Company names include city, state
• Bullet points use standard characters (not fancy symbols)
• No headers/footers (ATS often can’t read these)

Customize keywords for your target role, add your experience, and export in PDFb2.
