What does your ATS score mean?

JotCV gives you a score from 0–100. Here's what each range means.

0–40·Very Low

Major formatting or keyword issues. Likely filtered out before a human sees it.

41–60·Low

Some parsing issues or missing keywords. May pass basic ATS but rank poorly.

61–79·Good

Readable and relevant. Will pass most ATS filters for matching roles.

80–100·Excellent

Highly optimized. Likely to rank in the top results and reach a human reviewer.

ATS Mistakes to Avoid

6 reasons your resume fails ATS

JotCV prevents every one of these automatically.

Tables and columns

Use single-column layouts. ATS parsers read left-to-right and can't handle multi-column formats.

Headers & footers with key info

Many ATS systems skip headers/footers entirely. Put your contact info in the body of the resume.

Images, logos, icons

ATS systems can't read images. All your info must be in plain, parseable text.

Wrong file format

Always submit as PDF (or DOCX if specifically requested). PDFs from JotCV are ATS-readable.

Missing keywords

Read the job description carefully and mirror the exact language they use for skills and requirements.

Unusual section headings

Use standard headings: Experience, Education, Skills, Summary. ATS struggles with creative alternatives.

JotCV templates avoid all 6 of these issues by default

I applied to 40 jobs and got 2 responses. Used JotCV's ATS checker, fixed my resume, applied to 20 more jobs and got 9 responses. That's the difference.

I didn't know what ATS even meant. JotCV explained it clearly, scored my resume at 38, helped me fix it to 91, and I got 3 interviews that week.
