This is what an ATS sees when you upload a typical resume.
Below is a real scan report from a 2-column resume — the kind Canva, Enhancv, and most resume builders produce by default. Every issue you see is detected by the same parser we run on your file. Scroll through, then upload your own to see what yours actually looks like.
What the ATS read — and what's broken.
Sidebar content (CONTACT…) appears 21 lines before your "PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY" section. ATS reads in document order, not visual order.
Tokens like "StrategyRoadmappingA/B", "SQLUser", "ResearchFigmaJiraMixpanel" appear in your extracted text — these are typically tools or systems laid out in a table where each cell held one term. The ATS concatenates cells with no separator, so "StrategyRoadmappingA/B" should be "Strategy·Roadmapping·A/B" — but right now no recruiter searching for any single term in there will match you.
Date ranges like "2013 – 2017" use just years — no months. Some ATS engines need month resolution to compute tenure correctly, and can mis-categorize roles as "less than 1 year" when they shouldn't.
You use the em-dash character (—) 5 times. Modern ATS engines handle this fine, but a few legacy systems (Taleo, older iCIMS) convert em-dashes inconsistently — sometimes to spaces, sometimes to question marks.
