ATS Filter Check · Carolina

6,9/ 10 · Résumé score

Your experience is strong and relevant to B2B sales, but the résumé describes tasks instead of results and uses a two-column layout that some applicant tracking systems (ATS) read out of order.

What to do first

Turn task descriptions into results with numbers and switch to a single-column layout.

Score by criterion

Clarity and structure8,0

Well-defined sections and a chronological order that is easy to follow.

Results and numbers5,0

Only the current role has numbers; earlier roles describe tasks.

Industry keywords6,5

Terms such as forecasting, account management and client retention are missing.

ATS compatibility6,0

The two-column layout and the contact icon may scramble automated reading.

Length and focus7,0

Two pages are fine, but some bullets run longer than three lines.

Language and proofreading9,0

Correct text, with no typos or grammar errors.

Rewritten phrases

BEFORE: Responsible for the sales team and goal tracking → AFTER: Lead eight sales reps and track weekly goals for a portfolio of 140 clients, with the sales forecast updated every Monday

BEFORE: Negotiated with important clients → AFTER: Renewed for 24 months the contract of a client worth 12% of revenue, keeping the margin within target

BEFORE: Took part in the CRM implementation → AFTER: Led the migration of 100% of the portfolio to the new CRM in four months, training eight reps

BEFORE: Supported the sales team with proposals → AFTER: Standardized the team’s sales proposals, cutting turnaround time by [X%]

What to fix

  1. 1

    Professional summary

    Open with 3 lines: role, years of experience and your strongest result (for example, sales cycle from 45 to 32 days).

  2. 2

    Single-column layout

    Use one column, with no tables or icons. Tracking systems read top to bottom and may mix up the columns.

  3. 3

    Results in earlier roles

    In the two earlier roles, replace the task list with bullets that start with an action verb and include a number.

  4. 4

    Shorter bullets

    Keep each bullet to two lines. If you need more room, split it into two bullets.

  5. 5

    Skills section

    Add a line with your main skills, using the exact terms that appear in the job postings you are targeting.
