ATS resume checklist for freshers (India)
A practical checklist so your first resume passes Applicant Tracking Systems and reaches recruiters.
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan your resume before a human sees it. For freshers in India, a few habits make a big difference.
Use clear section headings
Stick to familiar labels such as Education, Skills, Projects, and Experience (internships count).
Match keywords naturally
Mirror important words from the job description where they truly apply—skills, tools, and course topics.
Keep layout simple
One column, standard fonts, and avoid tables or text boxes that parsers struggle with. Export to PDF when the employer allows it.
Build and test your resume with KayoSuit to get ATS-oriented structure and scoring feedback.
