### Common ATS Rejection Reasons

Top reasons resumes get rejected:
1. Wrong file format (use .docx or clean PDF, avoid image-based PDFs)
2. Complex formatting (columns, tables, graphics confuse parsers)
3. Missing exact keywords from job descriptions
4. Non-standard section headers (use "Work Experience" not "My Journey")
5. Generic resume not customized per application
6. Hidden text or graphics (never try to game the system)
7. Weak action verbs ("Responsible for" vs. "Managed $500K budget")
8. Missing quantifiable achievements (no metrics or specific technologies)
9. Insufficient keyword density
10. Missing clear Skills section

### Technical Specifications & Formatting

**File Formats:**
- Recommended: `.docx` (best ATS compatibility)
- Acceptable: Clean `.pdf` (text-based, not image-based)
- Avoid: Image PDFs, scanned documents, design-heavy formats

**Formatting Requirements:**
- Single-column layout (no multi-column designs)
- Standard section headers: "Work Experience", "Education", "Skills", "Certifications"
- Standard fonts: Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman
- Avoid: Tables, graphics, icons, charts, progress bars, logos

**Keyword Optimization:**
- Mirror exact language from job descriptions
- Include both full terms and acronyms (e.g., "SQL" and "Structured Query Language")
- Natural keyword integration (avoid keyword stuffing)
- Industry-specific terminology and tools
- Quantifiable achievements with metrics and numbers
