TheATS looks for specific keywords from the job posting, and if your resume doesn't match, it's filtered out automatically. Notably, this disproportionately affects 50+ job seekers because older resume styles often don't align with what ATS scans for.  \nCallout box: \"Paste a job description into Claude or and ask: 'What are the most important keywords from this job posting I should include in my resume?'
