What does your ATS score mean?
JotCV gives you a score from 0–100. Here's what each range means.
Major formatting or keyword issues. Likely filtered out before a human sees it.
Some parsing issues or missing keywords. May pass basic ATS but rank poorly.
Readable and relevant. Will pass most ATS filters for matching roles.
Highly optimized. Likely to rank in the top results and reach a human reviewer.
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.

“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.”

Software Engineer
“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.”
