StretchLearn Course
From ATS parsing rules to a working type scale to a portfolio-linked PDF, build one page that reads clearly to software and recruiters alike.
Course Overview
This course treats a resume as an information-design problem, not a word-processing chore. You will learn how applicant tracking systems actually parse a file, how recruiters scan in roughly six to seven seconds, and how to build a single-page layout with a deliberate visual hierarchy, a working type scale, and a clean export. Every lesson uses named tools, real measurements in points and inches, and worked before-and-after examples.
Learning Outcomes
Build a single-page resume on a baseline grid with a deliberate visual hierarchy
Format a document that parses cleanly through Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever ATS
Apply a modular type scale and spacing system so credentials scan in seconds
Choose between ATS-safe and creative formats based on the application channel
Write quantified, verb-led bullet points using the XYZ accomplishment formula
Export a tagged, portfolio-linked PDF with embedded fonts and correct metadata
Curriculum Preview
Preview the course structure, see how the modules build on one another, and understand the path this program is designed to take you through.
Before you design anything, you need to know the two readers your resume must satisfy: the parsing software that screens it first, and the human recruiter who skims the survivors.
Translate the strategy into structure: page setup, a grid, a working type scale, and a hierarchy that surveys in seconds.
Design is half the job; the words carry the rest. Structure each section and write bullets that prove impact with numbers and the right keywords.
Choose the right tool, decide between ATS-safe and creative formats, export a clean tagged PDF, and link a portfolio so the file does double duty.
Built for Application
