Layout and ATS
For this role, we recommend Engineering Spec. For ATS-heavy recruitment, keep standard section names, text-based contact information and simple lists. Visual elements may support hierarchy but should not replace job titles, dates, qualifications or responsibilities.
Common mistakes
- responsibility lists without outcomes or scale;
- skills that do not match the vacancy;
- a generic professional summary;
- unclear dates or inconsistent job titles;
- copying example metrics without replacing them with truthful data.
Safety rule: examples are a starting point. Include only qualifications and results you genuinely have.
Frequently asked questions
Can I copy the sample summary?
Use it as a structure, but rewrite it so that it reflects your own experience and target role.
Do I need a photo?
No. The answer depends on the country, industry and your preference. Content and readability matter more than a photo.
Does an ATS score guarantee an interview?
No. The checker identifies common technical and editorial issues but cannot predict an employer’s decision.
