"Are applicant tracking systems (ATS) auto-rejecting my resume?" We hear this question all the time. The truth? It’s not as simple as a yes or no. Every ATS has its own way of parsing and filtering resumes, and every recruiter uses their ATS differently. While it’s impossible to know every detail of what happens behind the scenes, understanding how these systems generally work—and how recruiters use them—can empower you to tailor your resume and improve your chances of getting noticed. If you’re curious, here's a sneak peak at our free e-book guide that takes you inside four of the most popular ATS to uncover how they REALLY work. It’s packed with actionable tips to help you stand out so be sure to check it out via the link in the comments.

Are these resume mistakes costing you your dream job? Your resume is your first impression, and it needs to count! But these common mistakes might be holding you back: ❌ Typos & Grammatical Errors Even minor mistakes can make you appear unprofessional. Always double-check and, if possible, get a second pair of eyes on it. ❌ Including Irrelevant Information Your resume isn’t your life story—it’s a highlight reel. Tailor it to the job description and keep it focused. ❌ Keyword Stuffing Yes, ATS optimization matters, but don’t cram your resume with keywords at the expense of readability and flow. ❌ Using Overly Creative Designs Unless you’re applying for a creative role, keep it simple. Skip the fancy fonts and graphics. ❌ Not Quantifying Achievements Numbers speak louder than words. “Increased sales by 30%” is far more impactful than “Improved sales.” ❌ Failing to Tailor for the Role One size does NOT fit all. Make tweaks for every job application to show you're the perfect fit. Want to see how your resume stacks up?
