## What makes a resume ATS-friendly?
ATS software scans resumes for job titles, skills, dates, and keywords from the posting. Resumes with unclear structure, missing keywords, or complex formatting often rank lower—even when the candidate is qualified.

- Clear section headings (Experience, Education, Skills)
- Standard fonts and simple layout
- Keywords from the job description used naturally
- Consistent date formats and job titles
- Bullet points that highlight measurable impact

## FAQ

### Will my resume definitely pass every ATS?

No tool can guarantee a pass—ATS rules vary by employer. Cresumely maximizes your odds with clean structure, relevant keywords, and role-specific tailoring.

### Should I use tables or columns for ATS?

Simple single-column layouts parse most reliably. Cresumely templates avoid layouts that commonly break ATS parsers.
