This includes organizing candidate data based on skills, experience, and achievements and helps filter applicants.<\/p>\n<p>An applicant tracking system also reads resume applications and chooses the best ones. In many cases, the recruiter won&#8217;t even check a resume that hasn&#8217;t passed the ATS.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why you need an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickresume.com\/en\/ats-resume-checker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">ATS-optimized resume<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since ATS picks the best CRM applications by checking every resume against the job description, your resume must have the right keywords and formatting to help the ATS parse correctly.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How to write a winning ATS-friendly resume\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The following tips can help you beat the ATS.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>1. An ATS-friendly resume template is the best option<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This is the most important thing when it comes to beating the ATS. Complicated formatting can confuse the ATS, so it is best to avoid having tables, headers, footers, symbols, images, and other elements that the ATS may be unable to parse.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why you should follow the two-resume rule: one resume for the ATS and one for the hiring manager.<\/p>\n<p>The second one can have more style, formatting, and visuals.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>2. Use standard headings for your resume sections<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Since the ATS uses section headings to parse and navigate your resume, it is important to have clear section headings.<\/p>\n<p>You can achieve this by calling the &#8216;Contact Information&#8217; heading as such instead of &#8216;How to reach me.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few standard resume section headings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Summary<\/li>\n<li>Contact information<\/li>\n<li>Work experience<\/li>\n<li>Skills<\/li>\n<li>Education<\/li>\n<li>Achievements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #666699;\">3. Add the right keywords to your resume<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The main task of an applicant tracking system is to parse the resume document and compare it with the job description. That&#8217;s why your resume should be tailored for each position.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, the ATS looks for keywords.<\/p>\n<p>Go through the job description and take into account the responsibilities, the qualifications, and the experience.\u00a0This is what the ATS is looking for.\u00a0Customize your resume based on these keywords and use the exact phrase.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, adding job-specific keywords in your resume, such as &#8220;Salesforce,&#8221; &#8220;CRM automation,&#8221; and &#8220;customer retention,\u201d will make your resume ATS-friendly for CRM roles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to tailor your resume according to the job role you are applying for. Adding the same keywords for all the roles might not be a great idea!<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #666699;\">4. Use full titles<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Make sure you add the full titles, like Chief Executive Officer, instead of CEO. Use JavaScript instead of JS.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, abbreviations are fine. I&#8217;m talking HTML!<\/p>\n<p>Do not have any grammatical error<\/p>\n<p>Your resume should have zero grammatical and spelling errors.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, zero.<\/p>\n<p>Recruiters won&#8217;t give a second glance to resumes with errors, but the ATS won&#8217;t even accept a resume with spelling errors.<\/p>\n<p>Use a tool like Grammarly to check for errors and rectify them.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\">5. The Reverse Chronology Hack<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your work experiences should appear in reverse chronological order.
