Question 3

What is an ATS-friendly resume?

Accepted Answer

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan resumes before a human sees them. ATS-friendly resumes use single-column layouts, standard headings, no tables or graphics, and keywords from the job description. The Classic and Minimal templates are fully ATS-safe. Modern uses a two-column layout which some ATS tools may struggle with.

Question 4

How do I import from LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

Go to your LinkedIn profile → Me → Settings & Privacy → Data Privacy → Get a copy of your data → select all data → Request archive. LinkedIn emails you a ZIP file within 24 hours. Upload that ZIP here and your profile, experience, education, and skills will be auto-filled.

Question 5

What is the best resume format in 2025?

Reverse-chronological (most recent experience first) is the safest format for most professionals. Keep it to one page if you have under 10 years of experience. Use the Classic template for maximum ATS compatibility.

How do I write a professional summary?
