How do I make my bullet points easy for applicant tracking systems to read?

Use plain text with standard bullet symbols, include the job advert's key terms where they truthfully describe your work, and avoid tables, text boxes and images.

Tips:

• Use the advert's wording for important skills and tools, such as "accounts receivable" or "Primavera P6".
• Spell out an acronym once if it may be searched in both forms, for example "Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)".
• Keep bullets in the main body of the page, not in headers, footers or side columns.
• Use round bullets or dashes, not icons.

A bullet like "Prepared IFRS-compliant monthly management accounts in SAP" is clear to both software and people. The job-description comparison in the builder can show which frequent advert terms are missing, so you can check whether any of them truly apply to you.
