What ATS parsers do with a education & academia resume

Applicant tracking systems read the file before a recruiter does. They extract your contact block, then split the document into sections by heading. Non-standard headings, multi-column layouts, tables and text boxes are where content gets dropped or merged into the wrong field. Every template above is single-column with standard headings for that reason. You can see the literal extracted text with the free ATS resume checker.
