    Simple resume seems more appealing to eyes, the more I look for resume examples. Easy, concise and guess what, it works, which is the important thing here. Thank you.

    Great video!!! I'm a recruiter and my ATS hates resumes with columns and text boxes and graphs and photos. Keep it simple, it works much better!

      As a recruiter how will you select a resume. My resume looks like this only but no call is coming.

      Isn't it weird that a tool whose sole purpose is to read text from a document, cannot read tables, columns etc. Isn't this a severe shortcoming of the ATS tools? Applicants have to tailor their resumes for a dumb software instead of an actual human!

    This is very good study resources because it gets straight to the point. Of the details and using the specific tools not the general information with so many unanswered questions in between and filled with theory. Its not just a lecture with no application. This is how a skill should be given. Love it.

    Thanks so much for this! When trying to customize the resume to each job posting, utilizing templates becomes such a hassle. I didn't even realize that using templates would often keep the resume from going through the review process. This helped me make a simple resume that I can add to/subtract from easily.

    Incredibly helpful video, thank you.
    When you were on the ribbon clicking here and there, I had to reduce the playback speed to 0.25 and watch again to follow along. If you could go a little slower or explain a couple of times as to where you are clicking and what options you are checking, will be a huge help. And I use a 2016 version of word and the ribbon looked different.
    Nevertheless, thank you for the effort and a good heart to help. 🙌

    Thank you for the video. I was initially watching the video to look at the formatting that was being done. However, there were several instances where basic Word functions did not work. Samer would say, "Sometimes that doesn't work, just try it again".
    Word has been around for 40 years, and Microsoft has not figured the simple things out yet. If you think I'm exaggerating, go to any current Microsoft message board where the topic is the new Outlook. Microsoft's latest version of Outlook is about a year old now (April of 2024), and they have not worked out the bugs, or fixed basic functionality of Outlook itself. You can't even save your emails any longer, along with not being able to use other basic functions Outlook used to have.
    They have even stated on these message boards that they wait for users to complain about something before looking at fixing it. And apparently that isn't even happening, as there are comments as of this week that none of the problems have been fixed over the past year users have been complaining.

      @@SamerHijjazi thank you for your reply.
      Yes, I used left, center, and right tab stops, for when you export a Word (.docx) file to (.txt), to simulate an ATS, the conversion displays the columns in Word as columns in .txt file, whereas using column formatting in Word, does not preserve the format in .txt file.

    There are plenty of ATS that will kill your entire day making adjustments.
    Not to mention, if you add something to the resume that you don't want the ATS to pickup, like symbols.
    There should be some kind of standardized style-markup nomenclature, independent of positioning and words-processings, to define data and make it easier for the ATS.
