ATS Friendly Resume Format Explained
Applicant tracking system (ATS) is software job recruiters use to automatically import, scan, filter, and rank resumes submitted when candidates upload them to job postings. ATS cannot read and process documents with fancy formats. A resume with tables, charts, images, two columns, boxes, headers, and footers, will likely be rejected by the ATS before a human sees it. Professional resumes use a simple, text-only format. LinkedIn is the place to add images, videos, articles, and other creative examples of your work.
Resume layout Chicago job recruiters expect to see:
Format: use reverse-chronological work experience resume format. List your most recent job at the top.

Body text font-size: 10.5 is the standard resume font size, but 10 or 11 are acceptable.
