In short
An ATS-friendly resume is a text-based document with headings and a clear reading order. It helps applicant tracking systems extract details such as experience, education, and skills. Use relevant keywords naturally, avoid complex formatting that may disrupt parsing, and follow the employer’s requested file type. ATS behavior varies, so no format guarantees selection across employers.

Six formatting mistakes to avoid
Keep the structure plain so your experience is easy to scan and copy.
| Mistake | What can go wrong | The fix |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-column layouts | Reading order can be scrambled. | Use one column with clear section headings. |
| Tables and text boxes | Text may be skipped or read out of order. | Use regular paragraphs and bullet lists. |
| Icons instead of words | Contact details or skills may not be recognized. | Write email, phone, location, and skill names as text. |
| Unusual section names | Standard sections can be harder to identify. | Use headings such as Experience, Education, and Skills. |
| Decorative fonts or graphics | Characters and key details can become unreadable. | Choose a common font and keep text selectable. |
| Keyword stuffing | Repeated terms make the resume difficult to trust and read. | Use relevant terms naturally in evidence-backed examples. |
