3. Formatting matters:
If your résumé is not
structured in a way that
fits an ATS, it may not get
scanned properly. Do not
use fancy fonts, headers
and footers, expanded
text, or text boxes as
most ATS cannot read
this information and may
keep your résumé from
getting into the hands of a
hiring manager.
Do not write your name
and contact information
into the header section of
a Word document for your
résumé. Some ATS cannot
read this information, so
your name and contact
information will appear
blank in their system…
and they won't be able to
contact you!
Understanding this
résumé sourcing
technology will help
you write your résumé
content better and
increase the chances
of your résumé getting
past applicant tracking
systems and into
the hands of a hiring
manager.

how to write your
résumé, be prepared
