Online application portals and common ATS platforms
The portal filled in my profile from my resume, but lots of fields are wrong. What should I do?
Correct every field by hand before you submit. Auto-fill is a convenience, not a guarantee, and recruiters may see the profile fields rather than your attached resume first. Mistakes left in place can make you look careless or less qualified.
Common problems to look for:
- Your name split wrongly between first and last name.
- Job titles placed in the employer field, or the reverse.
- Two jobs merged into one, or one job split into two.
- Wrong or missing dates, especially for your current role.
- Bullet points squashed into a single paragraph.
- Education with the wrong degree level or institution.
Fix each entry carefully, copying from your resume where possible to keep wording consistent. If many fields are wrong, it is a hint that your resume layout is hard to read. Consider a simpler single-column version for future applications, with your contact details in the body, standard headings and dates on the same line as each job.
