What holds up

- 02 / 05Reverse chronology remains default.Readers and parsers both reconstruct timelines.
- 03 / 05File naming matters.firstname-lastname-resume.pdf is read before the file opens.
- 04 / 05Consistency beats decoration.One font family, one date format, aligned everything.
- 05 / 05Export check is part of writing.The document must survive PDF, Word and print identically.
What does not
- 01 / 05Templates with photos, in the US.Photos invite discrimination-law caution and quiet discards.
- 02 / 05Two columns for machine-screened jobs.Columns are the classic parse failure.
- 03 / 05Headers holding contact info.Parsers often skip headers entirely.
- 04 / 05Icon fonts for section markers.They render as boxes elsewhere.
- 05 / 05"One page always."One page early; two pages expected with a decade of relevant history.
FAQ
Questions about this ATS-friendly resume template example
Short answers to what people ask before they send this resume.
Use this exampleOne page or two?
One until the content genuinely requires two — usually several years of relevant history. Length should follow what you have, not what you wish you had.
Which file format should I send?
PDF unless the posting asks for Word. PDF holds the layout; Word is what some applicant tracking systems still ask for.
Do fancy templates hurt?
The ones that break parsing do: columns, tables, text boxes, images and headers containing your contact details. A plain single column survives every system.
