ATS notes for the Ruled Table layout

This is a single-column family, the layout that reads in the simplest order.

  • Single column of ruled rows with dates in a left cell, and a grid for contact details. Dates and employers are in separate cells, so check in the ATS view that they stay together.
  • Section titles are in sentence case rather than capitals.

The only way to know what a parser reads from your own file is to look: export it, then run it through the ATS resume checker.

No. It borrows the idea of ruled, tabular rows, but it is not an official Europass document. If an employer requires Europass, follow their template.
