How to Use Keywords in Your Resume
ATS software is not always accurate. So when you’ve found the keywords to put on your resume, you need to include them clearly so that the ATS can read them.
Don’t: Embed resume keywords in images or use fancy fonts.
Do: Use standard fonts and avoid images in favor of plain text.
Stick to Plain Text
For an ATS, images are hard to read. While it might be tempting to spice up your graphic design resume by embedding keywords for your resume in fancy images, doing so will mean the ATS can’t read them.
