Getting Accepted by the ATS • Do not place your contact information in the header of your resume, because filtering softwares can be set to ignore headers and footers so there is a risk this information will be deleted • Choose a conservative font such as Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, or Calibri. Times Roman or Cambria may be rejected by screening software. • Stay away from script fonts • The smallest font size to use for the body of your resume should be 11 point. "Any smaller and you're probably asking for trouble." • No graphics or logos • Do not format using tables • No borders • A one-inch margin top and bottom is best • Do not use any lines that cross the entire page from margin to margin, because "some filters have been created that will reject a document for nothing more than having a single line run continuously across the page."
