ATS-Friendly Resume Examples That Still Sound Human
Formatting and keyword placement that passes parsers without turning your resume into keyword soup.

ATS-friendly does not mean robot-written. It means parseable structure plus honest keywords in context — usually inside experience bullets, not only in a skills dump.
Structure that parses
- Standard section headers: Experience, Education, Skills
- Single column for body text
- No text in header/footer boxes
- Simple bullets with hyphen or dot
Keywords in context
If the job asks for Next.js, mention Next.js in a bullet about what you built — not only in a comma-separated list.
