General ATS Formatting Rules

✓Use a clean, single-column layout — multi-column formats confuse most ATS parsers.
✓Stick to standard section headings: Experience, Education, Skills, Certifications.
✓Avoid images, tables, text boxes, and headers/footers — these are often stripped.
✓Submit as PDF unless the job posting specifically requests .docx.
✓Match keywords from the job description exactly — ATS scores keyword overlap.
