Understand ATS Basics

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan resumes for keywords, structure, and formatting. ResumeGyani uses plain-text exports and clean layouts to ensure your resume passes systems like Taleo, Workday, and Greenhouse. Avoid graphics, tables, and unusual fonts.

Use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills)
Stick to common fonts (Arial, Calibri)
Save as PDF or DOCX

Tip: Avoid tables and images!

Add Key Keywords

Incorporate job-specific keywords like 'data analysis,' 'project management,' or 'Python' using AI resume builder. Use the ATS resume checker to identify missing terms and boost your match score.

Scan job descriptions for must-have skills
Mirror language from job postings
Update your resume for each application

Pro Tip: Mirror job descriptions for best results!

Keep It Simple

Stick to simple formatting: no columns, no graphics, and no fancy borders. Use bullet points for achievements and keep your resume concise. Export as PDF for best compatibility.
