Published 6 November 2026 by Kloora Tools
Quick answer: the best way to use a ats friendly resume template is to pick a clean layout, lead with a short summary, show results with numbers, and keep it easy to scan. The free ATS Friendly Resume Template opens in the Kloora CV Maker so you can edit it online and download a PDF or Word file with no signup.
Who this ats friendly resume template is for
This layout suits professionals who want a clean look that still passes software screening. If that is not you, the CV Maker has 22 templates, and you can switch at any time without losing what you typed.
What to put in it
- Use real text, not images, for every word.
- Keep headings in the usual order so parsers find each section.
- Show numbers: results, percentages, team sizes and budgets.
- Keep the file name simple, for example First-Last-Resume.pdf.
A sample summary
Here is a short summary you can adapt:
> Product manager with 7 years shipping B2B software. Owns roadmap, metrics and cross team delivery.
Keep your own summary to two or three lines. Name your role, your years of experience and your strongest skill.
Three sample bullet points
Strong bullets start with an action word and end with a result.
- Launched a billing feature used by 40 percent of accounts within 3 months
- Raised trial to paid conversion from 9 to 13 percent
- Managed a backlog of 120 items across 3 squads
Notice that each line has a number. Numbers make your work easy to believe and easy to compare.
A mistake to avoid
Using fancy section names like My Journey. Stick to Experience, Education and Skills.
