ATS Optimisation Tips

Use exact keyword matches

If the job says "Project Management", use that exact phrase, not just "managed projects"

Include both acronyms and full terms

Write "Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)" to catch both variations

Place keywords naturally

Weave keywords into achievement statements, not just a skills list

Mirror the job description

Use the same terminology as the posting - if they say "clients", don't say "customers"
