Structure and layout that recruiters and ATS can read and like.
Clean formatting makes your resume easy to read and parse.
If you have under ~10 years of experience, one page is usually enough. Use clear margins and readable font size (10–12pt).
Experience, Education, Skills, Projects. Bold or slightly larger font so humans and ATS can find sections quickly.
Skip photos, heavy graphics, and multiple columns if you’re applying through ATS. Save a “pretty” version for direct emails.
