Summary (Business-focused)

The video is a step-by-step tutorial on building an ATS (Applicant Tracking System)-friendly CV using Microsoft Word, with a focus on formatting choices that improve both machine readability and recruiter scanning.

ATS CV Playbook (as presented)

  • Set margins first

    • Use narrow margins for optimal layout and to help avoid formatting issues.

  • Choose an ATS-safe structure

    • Use a clear section sequence, such as: Name → About Me → Education → Organizational Experience → Abilities/Competencies → Languages

  • Use ATS-friendly typography

    • Font: Arial (regular Arial only—avoid decorative/bold/alternative Arial styles)
    • Name: Font size 24 and centered
    • Body text: Font size 12

  • Use simple dividers

    • Insert lines to separate sections cleanly (Word path: Insert → Shapes → Line).

  • Keep each section concise

    • Example: Education lists only the last two levels (e.g., high school and college) to reduce length and complexity.

  • Manage underlining and formatting consistently

    • Underline section headers (e.g., About Me, Education, Organizational Experience, Abilities/Competencies) and keep alignment neat.

  • Skills / competency formatting

    • Abilities/competencies are written as short entries.
    • Tools/skills can be organized under competency categories (example: Excel / PowerPoint / Word).

  • Language section strategy

    • Provide languages as separate items (e.g., Indonesian, English).
    • Indicate proficiency using an active vs. passive wording approach (interpretable as ability/usage level).
    • Adjust spacing so entries fit without crowding.
    • Example shown: Indonesian and English, each with an ability indicator (active/passive).

Actionable Recommendations (implied by the tutorial)

  • Build the CV using copy-paste + incremental formatting

    • Create the template once (lines/headers), then duplicate sections to maintain consistent formatting.

  • Avoid overly detailed content

    • Keep Education short (example: only the latest two levels).
    • Keep organizational experience relevant (e.g., campus organizations if you don’t yet have formal teaching experience).

  • Use spacing adjustments

    • If sections feel cramped (especially the language area), increase spacing above the language section rather than shrinking content unpredictably.

Metrics / KPIs / Targets

  • No business KPIs or numerical targets (e.g., revenue, CAC, LTV) are discussed.
  • The only explicit “numbers” mentioned relate to formatting parameters:
    • Margins: narrow
    • Name font size: 24
    • Body font size: 12

Concrete Example Included

The presenter demonstrates a CV template where:

  • Organizational experience is included instead of teaching experience (because the CV was created shortly after graduating).
  • Education includes only high school + college.
  • Skills include tools like Word/Excel/PowerPoint, with proficiency described.
  • The language section is added afterward using the active/passive approach.
