Walkthroughs
Complete paths through ATSReady, each one starting from a situation you might actually be in rather than from a part of the product.
Every other section of this documentation is named for a part of the product: Resumes, Jobs, Settings and account. A walkthrough is named for a situation instead, because the situations people arrive with do not stay inside one part of the product. Getting a first resume out of ATSReady touches sign-in, import, Professional Identity, templates and export. There is no single section that page could live in without hiding it from the other four.
What a walkthrough gives you
Each one starts where you are, runs to a finished result, and names the wrong turns along the way. It links out to the reference page for every screen it passes, so it does not repeat what a section page already says. Read it top to bottom once; come back to the section pages for the detail. If you are new to ATSReady, start with You have a resume file and nothing else.
The walkthroughs
Listed in the order they are published, which is the order the navigation uses.
- You have a resume file and nothing else — sign in, import the file, check what was read out of it, choose a template, and export something you can send.
- You found a job and want to know if it is worth it — save the posting, then read the four separate readings ATSReady gives you and learn which question each one answers.
- You have an interview on Thursday — attach the job to the conversation, pick a round, and rehearse by typing or out loud.
- You did something at work and want it on record — write it up in Professional Journey and push it onto a resume.
- You need a cover letter tonight — generate one against a saved job, or write it yourself, and recognise which of the refusals you are looking at.
- You are applying to a job in another country — set the target market, the photo and personal-field policy, the document's own language, and the language you export in.
- You switched the interface language and half your content is still English — what content translation covers, what it leaves alone, and why one entry point asks first.
- Your import finished and it says 0 years of experience — trace the figure back to the dates extraction dropped, and choose between fixing them by hand and importing again.
When to read one instead
- You know what you want and not which parts of ATSReady are involved.
- Something finished, but it finished wrong, and you need the way back.
- You are doing a thing for the first time and want to know what the end looks like.
If you already know the feature and want the detail on it, go to its section instead. Resumes, Jobs and Settings and account are the three these walkthroughs cross most, and Reference is where the limits, status words and definitions they link out to live.
Pages in this section
- 01You have a resume file and nothing elseSign in, import the file, check what ATSReady read out of it, choose a template, and export a PDF you can send. Nothing on this path needs a paid plan.
- 02You found a job and want to know if it is worth itSave the posting from the extension, then read the fit score, the reach reading, and the ATS and match percentages. They are three separate readings of three different things, and this page is where they are compared.
- 03You have an interview on ThursdayAttach the job to the conversation first — a rehearsal without one still runs, just generically — then pick a round and practice by typing or out loud. Ends with a summary you can act on.
- 04You did something at work and want it on recordWrite it up in Professional Journey and push it into a resume. Clicking a row is the move the whole page depends on, and nothing on screen tells you that.
- 05You need a cover letter tonightGenerate one against a saved job, or write it yourself. ATSReady can refuse for three different reasons and only ever shows you one of them, so this page lists all three.
- 06You are applying to a job in another countrySet the target market, the photo and date-of-birth policy, and the resume language and the export language. They are independent settings and they do not live together.
- 07You switched the interface language and half your content is still EnglishWhat content translation covers and what it does not, why one entry point asks before it starts and the other does not, and what happens to your original text.
- 08Your import finished and it says 0 years of experienceFollow one resume import from the 0 on Professional Identity to the dates that extraction dropped, and choose between adding them by hand and importing the file again.
