Find answers to common questions about resumes, ATS optimization, and using EvalShare

Resume Writing
ATS-friendly resumes use standard fonts (Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman), avoid tables and graphics, use clear section headings, and include relevant keywords from the job description. Our templates are specifically designed to pass ATS systems.
Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and start with strong action verbs. Include quantifiable achievements when possible (e.g., "Increased sales by 25%"). Our AI assistant can help you craft compelling bullet points.
Generally, no. We recommend not mentioning visa status on your resume itself. Focus on your skills and experience. If asked, you can discuss your work authorization status during the interview process. Our templates are designed to highlight your qualifications first.
For most international students and recent graduates, a one-page resume is ideal. If you have extensive relevant experience (7+ years), a two-page resume is acceptable. Quality is more important than quantity.
ATS Optimization
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by employers to filter and rank resumes. Over 95% of Fortune 500 companies use ATS. If your resume isn't ATS-optimized, it may never reach a human recruiter, regardless of your qualifications.
Our ATS checker analyzes your resume against the job description you're applying for. It checks keyword matching, formatting compatibility, and provides a compatibility score with specific suggestions for improvement.
We recommend an ATS score of 80% or higher for the best chances of getting an interview. Our Pro users average 85-95% scores after optimization. The free version provides basic ATS checking, while Pro offers detailed analysis.
PDF is generally the best format as it preserves formatting across devices. However, some older ATS systems prefer .docx. When in doubt, check the job posting for specific requirements or use our ATS checker to test both formats.
For International Students
List your international experience just like US experience, but provide context for non-US companies. Include brief descriptions or translations if company names might not be familiar to US recruiters. Focus on achievements that transfer across markets.
Yes, if possible. Include both your original GPA and the US equivalent (e.g., "8.5/10 (Equivalent to 3.7/4.0)"). If you have a WES evaluation, mention it. For non-standard grading systems, you can also include class ranking if available.
We recommend NOT mentioning visa sponsorship on your resume. Wait until the interview process. Many companies are open to sponsorship, and you want to first demonstrate your value as a candidate.
1) Use our ATS-optimized templates, 2) Get your resume reviewed by our AI or human experts, 3) Network actively on LinkedIn, 4) Apply to companies known to sponsor visas, 5) Highlight any US-based experience (internships, projects, volunteer work).
