ATS-Optimized Resumes Meet Strategic Personal Branding: The Roszhart Coaching Advantage

In today's competitive job market, your resume must fulfill two roles: it should get through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and convey your unique professional story. At Roszhart Coaching, we view your resume as more than just a list of jobs—it's your personal brand, career narrative, and first impression with hiring managers.

Why an ATS-Friendly Resume Matters

Every day, companies sift through hundreds of resumes using ATS software. These systems look for standardized information: clear headings, simple formatting, and industry-specific keywords. To ensure that you get noticed, your resume must be designed for both machines and humans. Some key practices include:

✨ Simple, Clean Format: Use a one-column layout with standard fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman. Avoid using dynamic elements such as columns, headers, footers, graphics, or unusual bullet points to ensure ATS can accurately read your document. 

✨ Keyword Optimization: Carefully tailor each resume to include the specific terminology and skills found in the job description. Remember, ATS algorithms scan for relevant keywords in sections like Work Experience, Skills, and Professional Summary.

✨ Standard Section Headings: Clearly label essential sections such as Contact Information, Professional Summary, Work Experience, Skills, and Education, ensuring that the ATS can easily identify and parse your qualifications.

Following these ATS best practices increases your chances of your resume getting past the initial screening, allowing it to shine for the hiring manager.

At Roszhart Coaching, we take the ATS challenge one step further. We optimize your resume for automated systems while focusing on strategic storytelling to make you stand out. Here’s how we do it:

💡 Deep Career Assessment: Every resume begins with an in-depth exploration of your professional journey. We explore your core values, motivations, and unique achievements to understand what you've done and who you are as a professional.
