Questions
Is there one accurate ATS score?
No. Employers configure different systems and workflows. Carve exposes specific checks instead.
Should every job-description keyword be added?
No. Add a term only when your real experience supports it.
Are columns always bad?
Not always, but simple reading order is safer when the employer or parser is unknown.
