Formatting that applicant tracking systems can read

Most large employers run your file through software before a person sees it. Getting through is mostly a formatting problem — and a solvable one.

What breaks in an ATS

  • Text placed inside images or graphics, which parsers cannot read at all.
  • Contact details hidden in a page header or footer region.
  • Invented section names — “My Journey” instead of “Experience”.
  • Tables and text boxes that scramble reading order.
  • Scanned or image-based PDFs with no underlying text layer.

What CVWorks does about it

  • Standard, recognised section headings on every template.
  • Single-column options where reading order cannot be misread.
  • Real selectable text in the export, not a picture of a document.
  • Consistent date formats that parse into employment ranges.

An honest word about scores

No tool can tell you your odds of an interview, and any product promising an exact ATS score is guessing. A match figure in CVWorks tells you how clearly your existing experience lines up with a job advert. It is presentation feedback — and raising it by adding skills you do not have is never an option we offer.

A match score is guidance on how clearly your existing experience is presented against a job advert. It is not a prediction of interviews or offers, and CVWorks will never add skills you do not have to raise it.

Your experience deserves a better page.
