ATS Friendly Resume Builder - Get Past Applicant Tracking Systems
Most resumes get rejected before a human even sees them. ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) filter out 75% of resumes automatically. MOR (makersofresume) creates ATS-friendly resumes that pass through these systems, ensuring your application reaches recruiters.
What Makes a Resume ATS-Friendly?
An ATS-friendly resume is formatted and structured so that Applicant Tracking Systems can easily parse and understand your information. Here's what ATS systems look for:
- Simple, clean formatting - No complex tables, graphics, or columns
- Standard section headings - Experience, Education, Skills (not creative names)
- Keyword matching - Skills and keywords from the job description
- Standard fonts - Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman (not decorative fonts)
- Proper file format - PDF or Word document (not images)
- Chronological structure - Clear dates and job titles
Why Your Resume Gets Rejected by ATS
If your resume isn't ATS-friendly, it gets filtered out automatically:
- Fancy designs with graphics, icons, or tables confuse ATS parsers
- Missing keywords from the job description
- Unusual section names that ATS can't recognize
- Text in images or graphics (ATS can't read images)
- Complex formatting with multiple columns
- Non-standard fonts or excessive styling
Result: Your resume never reaches a human recruiter, even if you're perfectly qualified.
