What makes these templates ATS-friendly
- Single-column layout, so text is read in the right order.
- Standard section headings: Summary, Experience, Education, Skills, Projects.
- Contact details in the main body, not hidden in a page header.
- No icons, skill bars, tables or text inside images.
- Text-based PDF export with selectable, searchable text.
Keywords still matter
An ATS lets recruiters search for skills and job titles. Read each job posting and use the same wording for skills you genuinely have, in your summary, experience bullets and skills section. Avoid keyword stuffing or hidden text.

FAQ
What is an ATS-friendly resume?
A resume formatted so applicant tracking systems can extract your details reliably: single column, standard headings, real text and no important information inside images or tables.
Does the PDF contain real text?
Yes. CVTez PDFs are generated by your browser's print engine, so all text is selectable and searchable.
Can I check my resume is readable?
Open your PDF, select all, and paste into a plain text editor. If the text appears in a sensible order, parsers should read it too.
