Get your résumé past the ATS filter (a quick checklist)

Most résumés are first read by software (an ATS), not a human. If the parser can't read yours, a person never sees it.

Quick ATS checklist

• Use a simple, single-column layout — no text boxes or images for key info.
• Match keywords from the job description (skills, tools, titles).
• Standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills).
• Save as PDF unless the posting says otherwise.
• Quantify results ( "cut build time 40%" beats "improved builds").
