ATS-Ready Resume Template + Keyword Checklist

Recruiter-tested format that passes ATS; keyword-match worksheet

NONPROFIT CAREERSATS-Ready ResumeTemplate + KeywordChecklistTEMPLATECharity Search Group

A resume ATS software and search chairs both read.

The ATS at a national nonprofit and the search committee chair at a fifty-person org read for different things. This template gives you a format that passes both — a keyword worksheet that maps the job description to your bullets, and the discipline to quantify what you actually did.

What’s inside

  • Recruiter-tested resume template in editable Word, one and two-page versions
  • Keyword-mapping worksheet — paste any job description, get a checklist back
  • Quantification prompts that turn "led a team" into "led a team of nine across three programs"
  • Notes on what to strip from a corporate resume when crossing into nonprofit

You may not need this if: Your current resume already gets callbacks at the rate you want.
