Resume tips to pass ATS

  • Match the job ad. Reuse keywords from the job description you are applying to.
  • Show numbers. "Grew sales 30%" is stronger than "responsible for sales".
  • Keep it clean & standard. Avoid complex tables, text boxes and graphics — ATS struggles with them.
  • One page if you have under 5 years' experience; two pages maximum.
  • Save as a PDF with selectable text (not an image), named like Name_Resume.pdf.
