ATS resume optimizer checklist
Optimize for parsing and relevance first. Design polish matters after the resume passes initial screening.
Parser-safe format rules
- Use standard headings: Summary, Experience, Skills, Education.
- Avoid text inside images, complex tables, and decorative glyphs.
- Prefer simple bullet points with one achievement per line.
