What's Inside
Sections 1–4 are the parser gates — a single miss can get a CV rejected before a human ever sees it. Sections 5–8 decide how well it ranks once it's read.
Saved as .docx, no locked-in text-as-image, clean filename — the format that actually gets submitted.
Single-column, no tables or text boxes, nothing hidden in headers/footers where parsers skip content.
ATS-safe fonts only, correct sizes, one bullet style, one consistent date format throughout.
Standard heading names the ATS actually searches for — not creative labels like “My Journey”.
Every required field present, sitting in the body of the document, not the header or footer.
8–12 relevant terms mirroring the job description language, with acronyms spelled out once.
Action verbs, measurable results, achievements over duty lists, correct length for your career level.
The Jobscan/Resume Worded score check, grammar pass, and a plain-text copy test before you submit.
