ATS Compatibility Checklist
✓ DO:
- Use standard section headers (Experience, Education, Skills)
- Submit as PDF (LaTeX) or plain text (Markdown → PDF)
- Include keywords from the job description verbatim
- Use standard fonts (Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman, or LaTeX defaults)
- Keep to 1 page (< 10 years exp) or 2 pages (10+ years)
✗ DON'T:
- Use tables for layout (ATS can't parse them)
- Put critical info in headers/footers (often skipped)
- Use images, icons, or graphics (invisible to ATS)
- Use creative section names ("My Journey" → use "Experience")
- Submit as .docx unless specifically requested
Setup Instructions

- Markdown templates: Edit in any text editor, convert to PDF with Pandoc
- Pick your template based on role and company culture

Practice Tips
- Tailor for every application. One generic resume loses to a targeted one every time. Use the keyword mapping worksheet.
- Quantify everything. "Improved performance" means nothing. "$180K/year saved" means everything.
- Lead with impact, not responsibility. "Led a team of 5" < "Led a team of 5 that shipped auth service handling 10M logins/day."
- Your GitHub IS your portfolio. Pin 6 projects, write great READMEs, keep your contribution graph active.
- Get feedback from someone in your target role. They know what hiring managers look for.
