Create this ResumeATS Resume Tips
Use standard section headings: 'Work Experience', 'Education', 'Skills' — avoid creative alternatives.
Mirror keywords from the job description — ATS ranks resumes by keyword relevance.
Avoid headers, footers, text boxes, and tables — they break most ATS parsers.
Save your resume as a .pdf or .docx — both formats are typically accepted by modern ATS.
Use a simple, single-column layout. Multi-column designs often fail ATS parsing.
