What is ATS?
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are software tools used by most companies to automatically scan and filter CVs before a human ever reads them. An ATS-friendly CV uses:
- Clean formatting with no tables, columns, or graphics
- Standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills)
- Keywords from the job description
- A single-column layout that parses correctly
Studies show that 75% of CVs are rejected by ATS before reaching a recruiter. A well-structured CV gets you past the filter.
The Two Documents You Need
Every job application requires two documents:
| Document | Purpose | Length |
|---|---|---|
| CV / Resume | Your professional history and skills | 1–2 pages |
| Cover Letter | Why you want this specific role at this specific company | 1 page |
A CV without a cover letter is a missed opportunity. A cover letter shows initiative, communication skills, and genuine interest.
