Frequently asked questions
What is the best resume format for ATS in India?
A single-column, reverse-chronological resume with standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) is the safest format. Avoid tables, text boxes, graphics and multiple columns, which parsers often misread.
Should I submit my resume as a PDF or a Word file?
Either works if it is text-based: a PDF exported from a word processor, or a simple .docx. Never upload a scanned PDF or an image, because an ATS cannot read the text in it.
Should my contact details go in the resume header?
Put your name, phone, email and city in the main body, at the top. Some ATS parsers skip headers and footers, and your contact details can be lost.
How long should a resume be in India?
One page for a fresher and at most two pages for an experienced candidate. Cut anything that does not support the job you are applying for.
Do I need to tailor my resume for every job?
For jobs you care about, yes. An ATS ranks your resume by how well it matches the job description, so matching its keywords and framing, without inventing experience, moves you up the list.
