Why ATS Matters
Most resume builders optimize for looks. We optimize for getting past the filter.

Common resume mistakes that fail ATS silently
Multi-column layouts
ATS reads columns as mixed text — your job titles and dates get scrambled
Tables
Table cells are parsed out of order or skipped entirely by most ATS parsers
Icons and graphics
Visual elements are invisible to ATS — if your contact info is in an icon, it vanishes
Headers and footers
Many ATS systems ignore page headers/footers — phone numbers placed there disappear
MyResumeKit templates are single-column, table-free, and graphic-free — tested against ATS text extraction on every build.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my resume actually get seen by ATS software?
Every template MyResumeKit produces is a single-column, text-only layout with no tables, no graphics, and no columns. We verify ATS compatibility by extracting text from each generated PDF and confirming that all content appears in correct reading order. When formatted correctly, your resume reaches the recruiter's inbox instead of being filtered silently.
What makes this different from free tools like Canva?
Canva and similar tools are designed for visual appeal, not machine parsing. Their multi-column layouts, decorative elements, and embedded graphics cause ATS text extraction failures — meaning your resume may look great but never get read by a human. MyResumeKit deliberately limits templates to ATS-safe designs: single column, no tables, no icons in the content area.
Do I need an account to use MyResumeKit?
No. Build your resume, pay $4.99, and download your PDF — all without creating an account. Your resume data is stored in your browser via localStorage.
What happens after I pay? Can I edit my resume again?
You receive your PDF download immediately after payment. Your resume data remains in your browser exactly as you left it — you can continue editing any time. If you want another PDF download after making changes, that requires a new $4.99 payment.
What file format is the download?
PDF only. We use a PDF renderer that produces text-native output — meaning the text in your PDF is real, selectable, copy-pasteable text, not an image. This is required for ATS compatibility: ATS systems extract text from PDFs, and image-based PDFs are rejected.
Is the $4.99 really a one-time charge?
Yes. There are no subscriptions, no auto-renewals, no hidden fees. $4.99 per PDF export, nothing else. The payment is processed by PayPal — you do not need a PayPal account to pay by credit or debit card.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes — 7-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy with your PDF, contact us within 7 days and we'll refund your $4.99, no questions asked.
