ATS Compatibility

What ATS Systems Check:

• Formatting — Simple, clean layout (no tables, columns, graphics)
• Keywords — Job description keywords present in resume
• Structure — Standard sections (experience, skills, education)
• Parsing — Can the system read and extract your information?
• File Format — PDF or DOCX (not images or fancy formats)

Common ATS Issues to Fix:

• Fancy formatting, graphics, or images
• Tables, columns, or text boxes
• Unusual fonts or colors
• Missing keywords from job description
• Inconsistent date formats
