Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATS and why does it matter?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that scans your resume before a human sees it. Over 90% of large companies use ATS filters, so your resume must be keyword-matched and machine-readable to reach a recruiter.
How can I pass ATS screening?
Use a single-column layout, standard headings (Experience, Skills, Education), and keywords from the job description. Avoid photos, tables, and graphics. Our checker scores your resume against these rules instantly.
What file format is best for ATS?
PDF from a text-based editor (Word or Google Docs) is safest. Some old ATS prefer .docx. Avoid scanned images � they cannot be parsed without OCR and are usually rejected.
Which keywords should I add for data science roles?
Include exact terms from the posting: Python, SQL, Power BI, pandas, machine learning, statistics, and tools you used in projects. Mirror the job title language, and always list measurable outcomes with numbers.
