And guess what? MOST of the resume templates available for sale are NOT ATS compatible. Sadly, this is what could happen if you buy a resume template that is not ATS-friendly. What if, now nine months into your search, completely frustrated and dejected, your self-confidence flagging, you learn that your resume is not ATS compatible? You didn’t get a call because it was becoming completely jumbled when entered into applicant tracking systems. But you never received even a single call. You know you were perfectly qualified for most of them. While it is rare, in the worst cases, it may not be entered at all.Ĭan you imagine spending six months in a job search, sending what you really believed was your carefully written and beautifully designed resume created from a template for more than 100 job opportunities? When your resume isn’t formatted in a way that is compatible with these ATS systems, it will become jumbled and inaccurately entered into the system, and this is if you are lucky. Virtually all recruiting firms and Fortune 500 corporations, and a growing number of smaller organizations use applicant tracking systems to sort, rank, and store the resumes they receive. If your resume isn’t created in an ATS-friendly format, a hiring manager may never even have the chance to see it. Let’s start with one of the worst mistakes I see made with resume templates.
