Writing for Robots
In 2026, 95% of Global 2000 companies use AI to filter resumes. If your resume isn't optimized, it is rejected in 2 milliseconds.
🚫 Stop doing this:
- Fancy Columns: AI parsers hate two-column layouts. They read left-to-right and get confused. Use a single-column, boring layout.
- Skill Bars: "Photoshop: 80%". This means nothing to an AI.
✅ Start doing this:
- Keywords from JD: If the Job Description says "Stakeholder Management," your resume MUST contain the exact phrase "Stakeholder Management."
- Quantify Impact:
- Bad: "Managed a team."
- Good: "Led a team of 5, increasing output by 20%."
