Build an ATS-friendly resume

An applicant tracking system may extract text from your file into searchable fields. A clear reading order and familiar headings reduce avoidable parsing problems. This builder’s checklist and keyword matcher use English heuristics; use them as limited writing guidance, especially for other languages, rather than a hiring prediction.

Single-column document structure

Standard section headings

Selectable text, never an image

Conventional bullet lists

Simple contact information as plain text

No decorative skill charts or icons

Review & improve

Single-column layouts, familiar headings and selectable text help software follow your experience. Our readiness checklist suggests practical improvements; it cannot predict a particular employer’s screening result.
