How to Beat the ATS — Honestly

• White text / hidden keywords: flagged and reads as dishonest.
• Keyword stuffing: tanks readability for the human who scores you next.
• Fake job titles to match a posting: caught at reference/verification.

None of these help, and all of them risk your credibility. Skip them.

1. Parsable formatting — single column, standard headings, real text. If the ATS can't read it, nothing else matters.
2. Honest keyword alignment — mirror the job's real terms where they apply to you.
3. Quantified achievements — numbers survive both software scoring and human skim-reading.
4. Tailoring per role — reorder and rephrase your most relevant bullets for each application.

Tailoring every application by hand is exhausting. If your résumé is connected to ChatGPT or Claude, you can ask the AI to reorder and rephrase your genuine bullets to match a specific job in seconds — grounded in your real experience, not invented. person.bio makes your résumé AI-connectable via its resume.md link and connectors.
