Best for
Anyone applying through a large employer's portal, or through a system that mangled a previous resume.
What makes this template work
- Safest possible parse for strict ATS
- Copies cleanly into online application forms
How to fill it in
- 1Use hyphens for bullets — special bullet glyphs sometimes come through as question marks.
- 2Avoid tabs; use line breaks and spaces so the copy-paste stays intact.
- 3Keep one skill per line if the form asks you to paste your resume as text.
- 4Replace every bracketed placeholder, save as a text-based PDF named Firstname-Lastname-Resume, then check it against a real posting before you apply.
