3. Understanding Your ATS Score

What the score means:

85-100: Excellent - Your resume is highly optimized for ATS systems

Below 50: Needs work - Significant optimization required

Score factors:

Keyword matching: How well your resume matches job description keywords
Formatting: Whether your resume uses ATS-friendly formatting
Structure: Presence of key sections (contact, experience, education, skills)
Content quality: Use of action verbs, quantified achievements, and clarity
Length and density: Appropriate amount of relevant content
