ATS-friendly resume example
The safest single-column structure. Clean headings, plain bullets and every section in the order an ATS parser expects.
How to use these examples honestly.
A resume example is a structure, not a script. Copy the shape, replace the content, and never borrow results you did not achieve.
1. Copy the structure, not the content
What makes a good example useful is the shape of the sections and the level of detail in each bullet. Read a bullet and ask what kind of information it contains — a role, an action, a measurable result. Then write your own bullet with that same shape.
2. Replace every number with your own
If an example says “reduced checkout latency by 40%”, do not write “reduced checkout latency by 40%” unless you actually did. Find the equivalent metric in your own work — a percentage, a count, a timeline, a team size — and use that instead. Recruiters can tell the difference between a real result and a borrowed phrase.
3. Adjust the order to match your strengths
The examples lead with the strongest section for their scenario: skills for engineers, education for graduates, outcomes for executives. If your strongest asset is different from the example, reorder the sections so that asset appears first. Advoke CV's editor lets you show, hide and reorder sections in the Sections panel.
4. Keep the layout that matches the job
Each example uses a template chosen for the role. If you are applying to a conservative employer, use an ATS-friendly template even if the example uses a two-column layout. The template is a tool, not a claim about you.
