Is Meridian ATS-friendly?
One column in reading order: the layout applicant tracking systems read most reliably. Dossier4u's ATS check shows its layout as ATS-safe (green).
Whatever the template, the words matter more: name the skills the job advert asks for, give numbers in your work bullets and keep dates in one style. The ATS resume checker shows what is missing for a particular job.
