Beat the ATS. Get seen by real humans.

Applicant Tracking Systems don’t “judge” your resume the way people do — they parse it. This hub shows exactly how ATS works, why resumes fail, and what to change.

ATS Resume Guide (How to Beat ATS — For Real)

What ATS Reads

Job titles, dates, skills, keywords, section labels

What ATS Hates

Columns, tables, text boxes, graphics, funky headers

What Wins

Clean structure + role keywords + measurable impact

If you only do 5 things, do these

Use a single-column layout

Replace fancy headings with standard labels (Experience, Skills, Education)

Mirror the job description’s keywords and tools

Use simple bullets with metrics

Export the right file type (DOCX when unsure)
