The video titled “كيفية عمل سيرة ذاتية ATS تجذب انتباه أصحاب العمل | نصائح وأسرار النجاح مع تقييم SCORE” by Mahmoud Jaafar provides a comprehensive guide on how to create an ATS-compatible (Applicant Tracking System) CV that attracts employers' attention, focusing mainly on Arabic CVs but also covering English ones.
Main Points and Strategies:
- Understanding the ATS System:
- ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by employers to filter and sort CVs based on specific job criteria such as experience, age, and qualifications.
- ATS accepts both Arabic and English CVs, although it was originally designed for English.
- The system filters CVs to show only those that meet preset conditions.
- Creating an ATS-Compatible CV:
- Use Microsoft Word (Office 2013 or later) to create or download ATS-compatible CV templates.
- Microsoft Word offers built-in ATS CV templates that are simple, clear, and formatted correctly for ATS scanning.
- Avoid infographic or decorative fonts; use basic, readable fonts like Simple Arabic for Arabic CVs.
- Structure the CV clearly with headings formatted as titles, and use tables or grouped lines to organize information neatly.
- Content Recommendations:
- Replace the traditional "Career Objective" with a Professional Summary focusing on your experience and skills relevant to the job.
- Include clear sections: Personal data (name, contact info), professional summary, practical experience, academic qualifications, and references.
- Write job experiences with dates, company names, and detailed descriptions of responsibilities and achievements.
- Use proper punctuation and spacing to ensure clarity and ATS readability.
- Keep font size consistent (e.g., 14pt) and only bold headings or important titles without changing font type or size arbitrarily.
- Formatting Tips:
- Align Arabic text to the right.
- Use dashes and tabs to format dates and job titles neatly.
- Group lines and sections for easier editing and a cleaner look.
- Insert lines or shapes sparingly for visual separation but avoid clutter.
- Saving and Naming the CV:
- Save the CV as a PDF using "Save As" (F12) to preserve formatting.
- Name the file clearly in English (e.g., "Omar_Amr_Arabic_CV.pdf") when sending it to employers.
- Testing and Scoring Your CV:
- Use online tools to check your CV’s ATS compatibility and score:
- Rizum and Ward: Upload CVs (preferably in English) to get feedback and score; the system highlights errors and suggests improvements.
- Resume Maker (RoseMake): Offers CV creation and scoring, mostly in English.
- ATS Resume Checker: Checks CV sections and recommends adding or reordering sections like professional summary, competencies, education, achievements, etc.
- Arabic CVs may not be fully supported by all ATS tools, so English versions typically score better.
- Use feedback from these tools to improve your CV by adding more details, correcting formatting errors, and including all necessary sections.
- Use online tools to check your CV’s ATS compatibility and score:
- Additional Tips:
- Not all companies explicitly require an ATS-formatted CV, but preparing one increases your chances.
