Paper For Above instruction

A machine-readable (or "scannable") resume is one that avoids using complicated formatting such as text boxes, word art, and sideways text that could be misunderstood by an automated resume screener. Ensuring that the resume is free of complex formatting helps automated systems accurately scan and interpret the information. While some may think that special programming code or invisible elements are involved, the primary focus is on simple, clear formatting that is easily processed by machines.

In today's digital hiring environment, many companies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to screen resumes before human review. These systems analyze the document for keywords, formatting, and structure. Properly formatted resumes—using standard fonts, simple layouts, and consistent headings—enhance machine readability. This prevents important information from being overlooked due to formatting issues, increasing the candidate’s chances of progressing in the hiring process.
