Create a resume that passes Applicant Tracking Systems and gets seen by human recruiters.
ATS systems can't parse multi-column layouts, tables, text boxes, or graphics. Use a clean single-column format with clear headings.
Copy the job description into our Text Rewriter and compare with your resume. Match 60-80% of their keywords using natural language.
Replace 'Managed a team' with 'Led a team of 8 engineers, delivering 3 product launches in 12 months'. Numbers always beat adjectives.
ATS looks for: 'Experience', 'Education', 'Skills', 'Summary'. Don't get creative with names like 'My Journey' or 'Superpowers'.
Most modern ATS can parse both. PDF preserves formatting; .docx is safest for older systems. When in doubt, submit .docx.

🎯 Put your most important keywords in the first half of your resume — some ATS only parse the first page in detail.
🔑 Job postings with 15+ requirements are wishlists, not requirements. Apply if you match 60% — most hired candidates don't meet every criterion.
