How to Write an ATS-Friendly CV

The goal of an ATS-friendly CV is to make it as easy as possible for hiring software to read and parse your document.

1. Simple Layout is Key

Stick to a standard, one-column, top-to-bottom layout. No images, icons, or complex charts should be included.

2. Use Standard Headings

Use standard section titles like "Work Experience," "Education," and "Skills" so the ATS can categorize your data accurately.
