How to Make an ATS-Friendly Resume

Use standard headings such as Summary, Experience, Education, Skills, and Projects. Keep important information in normal text instead of text boxes, tables, or graphics.

Mirror the job description only where it is true. If a role requests stakeholder communication, explain the meeting, report, or decision you supported rather than adding the phrase without proof.

Before exporting, test the document by reading it from top to bottom in under thirty seconds. A recruiter should immediately see your target role, strongest achievements, and relevant tools.
