73 /100
B- Needs work

Your resume has a solid foundation but is missing several key ATS optimizations. Improving keyword alignment and reducing formatting complexity will meaningfully boost your score.

Where your score came from

Machine readability 11/15

Contact details sit in a document header some parsers skip.

Keyword coverage 12/20

Uses general terms where postings name specific tools.

Quantified results 7/15

Most bullets describe duties rather than outcomes.

Standard sections 10/12

One heading uses a non-standard name.

Layout & formatting 9/12

A photo is embedded; parsers cannot read images.

Titles & dates 10/10

Every role has a clear title and date range.

Contact block 6/8

Email and phone present, both machine-readable.

Length & density 8/8

One page, no padding.

What's working

  • Clear chronological work history with start and end dates
  • Includes a skills section with relevant technical terms
  • Uses recognizable section headings
  • Contact information is present and complete
  • Appropriate resume length (1 page)

What's holding you back

  • Missing quantified achievements — most bullets describe responsibilities, not results
  • Low keyword density for common industry terms in the target role
  • Professional summary is generic and not tailored to a specific position
  • One section heading uses a non-standard name that ATS may not recognize

Recommended fixes

Ordered by impact — work through these top to bottom.

  1. Add measurable results to at least 3 bullet points (e.g., "increased pipeline by 22%")
  2. Rewrite your summary to mirror the language used in job descriptions you're targeting
  3. Add 5–8 more hard-skill keywords drawn directly from target job postings
  4. Rename "About Me" to "Professional Summary" for better ATS section recognition
  5. Lead each bullet with a strong action verb: led, built, launched, reduced, increased
  6. Remove the photo — most ATS systems cannot parse images and may skip your header

Keywords

Formatting issues

These will prevent ATS from correctly parsing your resume.

  • Resume contains a photo — ATS systems cannot process images
  • Contact info appears to be in a document header — move to main body for reliable parsing
