Best Practices

What makes a CV ATS-compatible

Follow these rules and stop getting filtered out before a human ever reads your CV.

Use Standard Section Headings

Use “Work Experience” not “My Journey”. Use “Education” not “Where I Learned”. ATS systems match exact headings.

SummaryExperienceEducationSkills

ATS-Safe Fonts

Calibri, Arial, or Times New Roman at 11pt. Custom fonts render as garbled text in most ATS systems.

Ag

Single Column Layout

Two-column CVs look great but confuse parsers. Keep a linear, top-to-bottom reading flow.

No graphics, tables, or text boxes.

If your CV was built in Canva or has icons in the header, the ATS likely can't read it. Text must be selectable.

Graphics Rejected
