The FAANG Standard: How Big Tech Parses Your Resume
Google, Meta, and Amazon receive 50,000+ resumes a week. Here is the specific format you need to survive their automated filters.
The 'XYZ' Formula
Google famously recommends the 'XYZ' formula for resume bullet points: "Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y], by doing [Z]."
Most candidates fail to do this. They just write [Z] (what they did). * Bad: "Optimized API." * FAANG Standard: "Reduced API latency by 200ms (X) as measured by Datadog (Y), by implementing Redis caching layer (Z)."
Writing XYZ with AI
Writing these formulas manually for every single project is exhausting. This is the "killer feature" of makecv.ai for Big Tech applicants. You input the raw task, and the model attempts to structure it into the XYZ format automatically.
The Format Must Be Boring
Big Tech ATS systems are ancient beasts. They hate columns. They hate icons. They hate creativity. If you apply to Amazon with a two-column, graphic-heavy resume, the parser might merge your "Skills" column with your "Education" column, creating gibberish.
The Fix: Use the makecv.ai 'Standard' Template. It is boring. It is simple. And it is exactly what the Google parser wants to eat. Don't get cute. Get hired. Use the standard format.
