Run your resume through this before you apply. It is what a parser checks first - and what the human after it notices.
Freshers and early-career: one page. Recruiters scan, parsers truncate.
No photos, tables, columns or icons - a parser reads top-to-bottom, left-to-right.
Write the exact role you are applying for under your name; screens match against it.
If the ad says “REST APIs”, your resume should say “REST APIs”, not “web services”.
Action verb + what you did + the result you can measure: “Cut report turnaround 40% with a Python script the team still uses.”
Calls, users, marks, code coverage, time saved. 8.2 CGPA, 120 LeetCode problems, 3 internships - all fair game.
No images of certificates, no abbreviations only you know.
FirstName_LastName_Resume.pdf, exported as real text (not a scanned image).
“References available on request”, “hardworking”, “team player” - every ATS-aware writer deletes these.
A generic resume loses to a tailored one almost every time. This is the highest-ROI 15 minutes in your search.
Interview Ready - paste any job description and get a tailored ATS resume + cover letter + job-fit score in minutes.
