Resume Formatting and ATS Readability Checklist
Make a resume parse correctly and read well.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Check my resume's formatting for readability by people and software. Describe or paste my resume structure and its text: [PASTE_RESUME]. File type I plan to send: [FILE_TYPE]. Where I apply (company career sites, job boards, email): [WHERE_I_APPLY]. Go through this checklist and mark Pass, Fix, or Unknown, explaining each fix: [ ] Standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) that software recognizes [ ] Single-column layout; no tables, text boxes, or headers and footers holding key information [ ] Contact details in the main body, not only in a header [ ] Dates in a consistent format; job titles and employers clearly separated [ ] Standard fonts at a readable size; adequate spacing; no decorative characters that may not convert [ ] Bullets are simple characters; no images, icons, charts, or rating bars for skills [ ] File format accepted by the employer; file name professional (Name-Role.pdf) [ ] Text is selectable (not an image of text) [ ] Links are readable text and work [ ] Length appropriate for experience [ ] Spelling and grammar checked; consistent tense [ ] Accessible: good contrast, logical reading order Give a test method: paste the resume into a plain text editor and check that the order and content remain sensible. Warn that no checker can promise how a particular system will parse it.
