If your resume isn’t ATS-friendly, important details may be missed. Here's a few tips that may help improve your resume layout.

Simple Format
Avoid complicated layouts, text boxes, and graphics. Use proper labeling of sections like Work Experience, Education, and Skills. -
Relevant Keywords
Scan the job description for terms and skills, then add them in naturally in your resume. -
Use Standard Fonts and File Types
Fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman are may be easier for ATS software to read. Share your resume as a .docx or PDF (unless the employer specifies otherwise). -
Consistency
Use a consistent format for dates and write job titles/descriptors similarly throughout the resume. -
Avoid Uncommon Abbreviations
Spell out acronyms at least once—for example, Search Engine Optimization (SEO)—so the system understands them.
Things to keep in mind:
-
Avoid overloading your resume with keywords.
-
Avoid adding too much images instead of text.
-
Did you leave out important sections like skills or contact details?
-
Save your resume in an easy to read format.
