    What ATS systems look for

    Format for machines and humans alike

    Use standard headings

    Stick to "Experience," "Education," and "Skills" rather than creative alternatives.

    Keep the layout simple

    A single column, top to bottom, is easiest for ATS software to read correctly.

    Avoid tables and text boxes

    Content inside tables or text boxes is often skipped entirely by parsers.

    Skip headers and footers

    Key information like your name and contact details should live in the body, not a header.

    Keep dates consistent

    Use one date format throughout, like "Jan 2022 - Present," for every role.

    Mirror relevant keywords

    Echo the exact terms from the job description where they honestly apply to you.
