How to Write an ATS Resume
A short guide to writing a resume that passes applicant tracking systems and still reads well for recruiters.
Start with a clean structure
An ATS (applicant tracking system) reads text from your resume before a person does. Use standard headings — Summary, Experience, Education, Skills — and simple bullet points. Avoid tables, text boxes, and icons that scanners skip.
Match the job description
Copy important skills and role keywords from the posting into your experience and skills sections naturally. One tailored resume per application beats one generic file sent everywhere.
Export a clean PDF
Save as PDF from a trusted resume builder so fonts and layout stay consistent. Preview the file before you upload it to a job portal.
