Quick ATS FAQ

Why do ATS systems reject resumes that still seem relevant?

Most rejections come from wording mismatch with the job post, weak quantified proof, or layouts that are harder to parse.

How many ATS keywords should I target?

Target 10 to 15 priority keywords distributed across title, summary, and experience bullets.

Do I need to rewrite my whole resume for every application?

No. Keep a strong base and mainly adapt title, role keywords, and 2 to 3 key proof points.

What is the highest-impact next step?

Compare one real job post against your resume, fix missing keywords, then submit a tailored version.
