ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) scan resumes to find keywords and formatting that match a job. For a Team Member role, your resume needs clear section titles like Work Experience and Skills, and keywords from job posts (e.g., 'team collaboration', 'customer service', 'problem-solving'). Avoid fancy headers or footers—they’ll confuse ATS.
Use standard fonts like Arial or Times New Roman. Save your resume as a PDF or .docx, not a .psd or .eps. ATS can’t read images or tables, so keep everything in plain text. For example, if a job mentions 'Microsoft Office', include that exact phrase in your Skills section.
Common mistakes? Using synonyms like 'MS Office' instead of 'Microsoft Office' won’t match. Also, putting skills in a table might hide them from ATS. Missed keywords? You’re out before a human sees your resume.
