ATS Tip - Use Standard Headings

If you use a non-standard heading, the applicant tracking system will have a difficult time recognizing this section. For example, if you write "What I Have Done" instead of "Employment History," the applicant tracking system will not be able to recognize this section and the content and keywords within it will not count toward the overall analysis of your CV. 

This will increase the odds of the software flagging your CV, which usually results in it being rejected. To avoid this, stick to safe, commonly used headings. By doing so, the software will check the context for keywords that can potentially "add to your overall score" (how many matches you have/how compatible you are).
