2s internal system are closed — they do not publish their parsers and we have no access to them.

Whether any specific employer's system has the same weaknesses, we cannot say, and neither can anyone else who has not been given access."},{question:"So what percentage of resumes get filtered out by parsing errors?",answer:"We do not know, and we will not guess. The widely repeated figures about resumes being auto-filtered before a human sees them are not published by any ATS vendor. This study is one document in five renderings — it establishes that a failure mode exists and shows exactly what it does, which is a different and more modest claim than a rate. Anyone quoting a percentage should be asked where it came from."},{question:"Should I avoid two-column resume templates?",answer:"If you want the safest option, yes — one column removes an ambiguity rather than gambling on how it gets resolved. But the honest version is narrower than the usual advice: nothing auto-rejects a two-column layout. The issue is that when a sidebar shares a horizontal band with the main body, a coordinate-based reader has no unambiguous way to know which one continues the sentence. Our extractor interleaves them, which you can see in the side-by-side example above."},{question:"How can I check my own resume for this?",answer:"Two ways, and the first is free and takes fifteen seconds: copy the text out of your own PDF and paste it into a plain text editor. What you see is a rough approximation of what a parser gets, and it will show you interleaved columns and merged lines immediately. Second, run it through our free checker, which reports the structural signals — bullets found, section headings recognised, and keyword coverage against a specific job description."},{question:"Is this checker really free with no signup?",answer:"Yes.

A free account only adds extras: fixing every weak bullet with AI, tailoring to a specific job, and score history."},{question:"Is my resume uploaded or stored anywhere?",answer:"No. The scan is computed locally in your browser — your resume text is never uploaded, stored, or used for training.
