Passing the Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

Passing an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) starts with tailoring your resume. Focus on

including relevant keywords from the job description, but do so naturally, don’t just stuff

them in. Use simple formatting, no fancy fonts or graphics, as these can confuse the

ATS software. Stick to standard section headers like Experience and Skills, and avoid

acronyms unless they’re industry standard. A clean, straightforward resume is more

likely to get past the system and into the hands of a hiring manager. Remember, the goal

is to make your resume both ATS-friendly and readable for humans once it makes it

through!
