Your Resume Might Be Invisible
(Here’s How to Fix It)
More than 75% of resumes get rejected by ATS. Want to be in the top 25%?
You could be the perfect candidate, but if your resume isn’t ATS-friendly, no one will ever see it.
Most companies use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to filter resumes before a human ever looks at them. If yours doesn’t pass, it’s game over.
Here’s how to make sure your resume actually gets noticed:
Common Resume Mistakes That Get You Rejected
?? Using fancy fonts or images → ATS can’t read them.
?? Creative section titles like “My Career Journey†→ ATS looks for “Work Experience.â€
?? Not including the right keywords → If they don’t match the job description, your resume gets filtered out.
How to Make an ATS-Friendly Resume
? Use the Right Keywords
? Copy key skills from the job description and add them naturally.
? Use both abbreviations & full terms (e.g., SEO & Search Engine Optimization).
? Keep the Format Simple
? Use fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman.
? Stick to plain text—no tables, images, or colors.
? Organize It Properly
?? Header: Name, phone, email, LinkedIn (not in a footer).
?? Summary: 2-3 sentences about your experience & strengths.
?? Skills: Bullet points of job-relevant skills.
?? Work Experience:
? List jobs from newest to oldest.
? Include job title, company name, and dates.
? Focus on achievements, not just duties.
? Save & Send in the Right Format
? Best option: .docx or PDF (check job post for preference).
? Avoid Google Docs links or image files—ATS won’t scan them.
? Test Before Applying
Use free ATS checkers like:
?? Jobscan
?? Resume Worded
?? SkillSyncer
A strong resume doesn’t just get past the system—it helps you get hired.
P.S. Don’t let an algorithm decide your future. Make sure your resume gets seen.
