An ATS-friendly resume is crucial in today’s job market, where Application Tracking Systems (ATS) are commonly used by companies and recruiters to screen job applications. To ensure that your resume gets past the initial screening stage, it should be formatted using an ATS-compliant resume template, contain industry-specific keywords, and be worth the time of the human recruiter.

It’s estimated that around 75% of applicants are disqualified by the ATS software, never to be seen by a hiring manager. To ensure that your resume reaches the right person, it’s important to create an ATS-friendly resume specifically designed to get a green signal from the ATS software used by the company you’re applying to.

 

There are many ways to make sure that your resume gets past the initial screening ATS software. Any changes made in your resume with ATS in mind can definitely increase the chances of your resume being shortlisted and forwarded to the right channel. 

Five ways to make your resume more ATS-friendly – 

  • Include the job-related keywords
  • Proper labeling
  • Chronological format
  • ATS-friendly template
  • Save in the right format

ATS software scans your resume for various industry-specific and job-related keywords relevant to the position applied for. While some ATS software might use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to determine your eligibility, older software might simply scan your resume for certain keywords.

The common mistakes to avoid when writing resumes are – 

  • Generalization: You can’t use the same resume to apply for different job positions. 
  • Grammatical errors: Grammar lapses generally tend to stand out and are duly noted by the companies. 
  • Spelling mistakes: Using wrong spellings in your resume can cost you your dream job. 
  • Unprofessional email id: Your email id must be the one to be used for professional purposes. Don’t provide an email address that might appear unprofessional. 
  • Forced keywords: Avoid using keywords that might bring down your credibility. Don’t unnecessarily stuff keywords when there is no place for them given the context. 
  • Being vague: Be specific, precise and to the point. Don’t use vague words like many, few, some, several etc.
  • Fancy fonts: The font used by you must be readable across different online platforms. Stick to the common fonts. Don’t use fonts that might not be read by some devices or software. 
  • Giving too much information: Extra information can overwhelm and distract an employer. Avoid sharing more information than what might be needed, given the circumstances. 
  • Divulging personal details: Keep in mind that you don’t have to give personal information to recruiters.
  • Irrelevant social media handles: With the job description in mind, select the social media handles that you must be mentioning
 

Ways to make a resume appear more professional include – 

  • Consistent formatting: Maintain the same formatting throughout your resume. 
  • Professional fonts: Always use fonts that can easily be read by a human, software, or machine. 
  • Concise: No need to give information that is not required. 
  • Review and editing: Modify your resume after writing it. 
  • Proofread: Check, and recheck, for any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors before you send.
  • Creativity: Only show your creative side when applying for a creative job position. Otherwise, keep it simple.
