Why your beautiful Canva resume might be holding you back...

Most companies today use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen resumes before human eyes ever see them. While those sleek Canva templates look stunning, they're often unreadable by ATS software.

The hard truth? Your perfectly designed resume could be getting rejected before a recruiter even glances at it.

What works better:

✅ Simple, clean formatting

✅ Standard fonts (Arial, Calibri)

✅ Clear section headers

✅ No tables, columns, or graphics

✅ Plain bullet points

✅ Word or PDF format

Remember: A basic ATS-friendly resume that gets seen is better than a beautiful one that gets filtered out.
