Professional ATS resume questions
What goes in the line under my name?
Your target role and two or three specialties, such as Data Engineer | Cloud Pipelines | Analytics.
Is the centered header ATS-friendly?
The header is ordinary text, not an image. No template guarantees how every system parses a file, so follow each job posting's instructions.
Where do certifications go?
They sit in a three-column block at the end, so your experience stays first. Remove the section if you have none.
Can I use it for a career change?
Yes. Lead with a summary that names the new target role and move transferable skills up.
PDF or Word?
Send what the posting asks for; if it does not say, a PDF keeps the layout fixed.
