If your #resume isn't formatted for the #ATS the company won't even know you applied. #flexjobs

Keep your resume simple! The FlexJobs Career Coaches say applicants should use a document with simple formatting. “Upload your resume as a word document (or .docx) that doesn’t contain charts, graphics, text boxes, or columns. Don’t put any text in the header or footer of your document. This helps ensure the information is parsed correctly.”

“When heavily formatted, resumes often appear out of order or sections in the document won’t scan at all, so, even if the keywords match, the applicant may not be adequately scored because of the formatting issue.”

Simple formatting also makes it easier for your document to be read on a mobile device!
