International students

An ATS check built for students applying outside their home country.

International students get filtered out for avoidable reasons: unfamiliar university names, degrees written in local shorthand, and internships described in a vocabulary the screening software was never trained on. This free check surfaces every one of those gaps.

Making an overseas education legible

Spell out the degree type alongside the local abbreviation.

Add one clause of context for a university a local recruiter will not know.

Convert grades to the local convention, keeping the original in brackets.

Put relevant coursework and capstone projects into skill language, not course codes.

Internships and projects that count

Treat a substantial university project as experience: scope, tools, outcome.

Quantify anything you can, including users, hours saved, or accuracy gained.

Name the exact tools and frameworks from the posting where you actually used them.

Keep one page until you have real full-time experience.
