5 Signs You Need Resume Writing Services Now

5 Signs You Need Resume Writing Services Now

When an employee applies for a job at a company, they must first be shortlisted through the resume review process. Only after that will the further process occur; however, most employees do not get shortlisted through this round because their resumes are not well-written, outdated, or lack personal marketing value. It works like the first impression of the employee; the better the resume, the better the impression. Now, companies have started using AI to screen resumes to save time, which has made getting shortlisted even easier. But even today, many employees are underestimating the importance of a well-crafted resume or are struggling to write their skills effectively. Nowadays, the competition for jobs has increased so much that if any mistake is found even in a small resume, it is not shortlisted.
In this detailed article, we will know the reasons why an employee is not able to make an effective resume or the signs after seeing which you should take the help of resume writing companies. Not Getting Calls for an Interview? You Need Resume Writing Services
Many candidates, even many candidates, apply to different companies for the same position to get a job. Still, they do not get even a single call from them because one of the biggest reasons for this could be the resume not being correct and effective. The time taken by AI to scan the resume is only 6-7 seconds. Now, if your resume does not show the value of your skills effectively at this time, then it is very difficult to get shortlisted. If it is worth it, then the recruiter himself checks it. But professional resume writers know how to clear these things up, which includes: Crafting your resume in a way that it clears the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) They use communicative language to showcase the applicant's skills and values. Resume Format matters in grabbing the attention of the recruiter. Struggling To Show Achievements? Consider Resume Writing Services
Many achievements are difficult to quantify, and hence, many candidates get stuck in this situation as they do not know how to show their achievements in the resume because the resume never looks at what you have done or achieved; rather, it looks at how you have done the work. Like: A resume will not show to whom and how many customers you have provided service; it will show in what manner you have provided services to the customers. If You Want to Change Your Career or Industry
Who doesn't like to make a career? But it is equally difficult for candidates because to make a career, you don't need to get a job again in the same field in which you used to work earlier, and even if you get a job, you don't need to have the required skills. That is why many candidates already fail because they do not know how to effectively write or show the existing skills they had in their past job in their resume.
Professional resumes will show: A Specific-Industry Skills Give a Summary of the Past Job They will show the transferable skills. If You Are Busy or Nervous to Make an Effective Resume
Resume writing requires time, knowledge, etc. But some candidates who already have a job but are looking for a new job, or those who do not have a job but are unable to find time for any reason, must use a CV writing service. They can save your time by making a customised resume for you.
Some candidates have a resume but do not know what to write or how to write it, or they are nervous. Then such candidates should also take resume writing services, which make the candidates nervous and provide them with an effective and best resume. If the Resume Seems Outdated or Unprofessional
Do you still use outdated and unprofessional styles when making your resume? Then you should take the help of a professional resume writer because if your resume looks obsolete, it will be misinterpreted, and the other person will think that you are not updated or aware of the latest modern technology. Your resume needs to be updated and look modern in both content and design.
Some common practices that may seem outdated include: Still using Roman counting Use the same resume for every job
Professional resume writers are always up to date. If any technology has come up that may cause any problem, then find its solution, or if any method is found that makes the resume writing more effective, then use it. Professional resume writers always keep collecting such information.
Professional resume writing services are a very beneficial tool for those who are writing resumes for the first time, who have no idea, or who are nervous. Because it helps them to get jobs or opportunities by helping them, but it also helps those whom we have talked about in this article. They know all the methods by which top companies and top employees got jobs, and they prepare the resume in such a way that it clears the ATS system.
Those who do not understand when they should take the help of resume writers, or if their situation is also according to the above points, then they should also take the help of professional resume writing.

ATS Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

CAMBRIDGE, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ATS Corporation (TSX and NYSE: ATS) ("ATS" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the three months ended June 29, 2025. All references to "$" or "dollars" in this news release are to Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. First quarter highlights: Revenues increased 6.1% year over year to $736.7 million. Net income was $24.3 million compared to $35.3 million a year ago. Basic earnings per share were 25 cents, compared to 36 cents a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA 1 was $101.5 million compared to $106.0 million a year ago. Adjusted basic earnings per share 1 were 41 cents compared to 50 cents a year ago. Order Bookings 2 were $693 million, 15.2% lower compared to $817 million a year ago. Order Backlog 2 was $2,068 million, 9.9% higher compared to $1,882 million a year ago. "Today ATS reported our first quarter results for fiscal 2026, with revenue growth, including contributions from recent acquisitions, and adjusted earnings margins in line with our expectations," said Andrew Hider, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). "These results reflect continued focus on our value drivers, the resilience of our business model, and the dedication of our global teams." As the Company previously announced, Mr. Hider will be stepping down from his role as CEO of ATS and from its Board of Directors to pursue another leadership opportunity. Mr. Hider's final day with ATS is today, which marks a natural transition point after the reporting of first quarter results and the Company's annual meeting of shareholders. Upon Mr. Hider's departure, Ryan McLeod, currently Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), will assume the role of Interim CEO (see "Leadership Transition" below). "ATS is well positioned as a leader in automation, supported by our strong presence in growing, diversified end markets, a sizeable, high-quality Order Backlog and the ATS Business Model ("ABM") firmly entrenched within the culture of our decentralized businesses," said Mr. McLeod. "Our leadership team is well prepared to leverage these advantages and drive value during this transition period."

Expand Leadership Transition As disclosed on July 7, 2025, with Mr. Hider's departure from ATS, the Board is conducting a thorough search for a permanent CEO. Mr. McLeod, with the full support of ATS' experienced leadership team, is well-positioned to lead the Company during this interim period, with more than 18 years at ATS and five years as CFO. In addition, Anne Cybulski has been appointed as Interim CFO. Ms. Cybulski is a member of ATS' executive team and has been with ATS for 16 years, holding several finance leadership positions during her tenure including in both Global Services and Industrial Automation. Ms. Cybulski has held the role of Vice President and Corporate Controller for the last three years. Ms. Cybulski holds a Chartered Professional Accountant designation. During the transition period, Mr. McLeod and ATS' senior leadership team will continue to focus on executing the Company's value creation strategy, including performance improvement across all value drivers, underpinned by ATS' decentralized structure, and a commitment to the ABM, and seek to complement organic growth by continuing to cultivate strategic acquisitions. First quarter summary First quarter of fiscal 2026 revenues were 6.1% or $42.4 million higher than in the corresponding period a year ago, primarily due to a 4.1% increase from revenues earned by acquired companies and the 3.2% positive impact of foreign exchange translation, partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in organic revenues (revenues excluding contributions from acquired companies and foreign exchange translation) of 1.2%. Revenues generated from construction contracts increased 6.7% or $26.5 million from the prior period primarily due to contributions from acquisitions of $11.1 million and the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Construction revenues generated in life sciences, consumer products and food & beverage largely mitigated the lower construction revenues generated in transportation which were a result of lower Order Backlog entering the period, primarily related to EV programs. Revenues from services decreased 4.1% or $7.1 million, primarily due to lower after sales service revenues in the transportation market, partially offset by increases in other markets. Revenues from the sale of goods increased 18.0% or $23.0 million primarily due to revenues earned by acquired companies of $15.4 million, in addition to the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. By market, revenues generated in life sciences increased $50.4 million or 15.3% year over year. This was primarily due to contributions from organic revenue growth on higher Order Backlog entering the quarter, in addition to contributions from acquisitions totalling $14.6 million, and the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Revenues generated in food & beverage increased $41.7 million or 43.1% from the corresponding period last year due to organic revenue growth on higher Order Backlog entering the quarter, in addition to contributions from acquisitions, and the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Revenues generated in consumer products increased $36.7 million or 41.8% year over year primarily due to organic revenue growth on higher Order Backlog entering the quarter. Revenues in transportation decreased $84.9 million or 58.8% year over year due to lower Order Backlog entering the quarter, as the prior year included several large EV projects. Revenues in energy decreased $1.5 million or 4.1% year over year due to timing of program execution. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $24.3 million (25 cents per share basic), compared to net income of $35.3 million (36 cents per share basic) for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease primarily reflected higher SG&A, stock-based compensation, and net finance costs, partially offset by increased revenues. Adjusted basic earnings per share were 41 cents compared to 50 cents in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 (adjusted basic earnings per share is a non-IFRS financial measure — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures"). Depreciation and amortization expense was $37.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $37.4 million a year ago. EBITDA was $95.1 million (12.9% EBITDA margin) in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $105.0 million (15.1% EBITDA margin) in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 included $3.6 million of stock-based compensation expenses due to revaluation, $2.5 million of restructuring charges, and $0.3 million of incremental costs related to acquisition activity. EBITDA for the corresponding period in the prior year included, $1.3 million of incremental costs related to acquisition activity, $1.0 million of acquisition-related fair value adjustments to acquired inventories, and a $1.3 million recovery of stock-based compensation revaluation expenses. Excluding these costs, adjusted EBITDA was $101.5 million (13.8% adjusted EBITDA margin), compared to $106.0 million (15.3% adjusted EBITDA margin) for the corresponding period in the prior year. Lower adjusted EBITDA primarily reflected increased SG&A expenses. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures, and EBITDA margin and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-IFRS ratios — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures". Order Bookings First quarter of fiscal 2026 Order Bookings were $693 million, a 15.2% year-over-year decrease, reflecting a 20.7% decline in organic Order Bookings, partially offset by 3.1% of growth from acquired companies and 2.4% from positive foreign exchange translation impacts. By market, Order Bookings in life sciences decreased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to timing of customer programs. Order Bookings in food & beverage increased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to contributions from acquired companies, in addition to the positive impact of foreign exchange translation and organic growth. Order Bookings in consumer products increased from the prior period primarily due to timing of customer projects. Order Bookings in transportation decreased compared to the prior-year period, as expected, reflecting reduced investment in EV production by North American transportation customers. Order Bookings in energy increased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to timing of customer projects, specifically for nuclear refurbishment projects. Trailing twelve month book-to-bill ratio at June 29, 2025 was 1.17:1. Book-to-bill ratio, Order Bookings and organic Order Bookings growth are supplementary financial measures — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures." Backlog At June 29, 2025, Order Backlog was $2,068 million, 9.9% higher than at June 30, 2024, on account of higher Order Backlog in all markets except for transportation, which included several large EV programs a year ago. Outlook The life sciences funnel remains strong and diversified, with opportunities in strategic submarkets such as pharmaceuticals, radiopharmaceuticals, and medical devices. Management continues to identify opportunities with both new and existing customers, including those who produce auto-injectors and wearable devices for diabetes and obesity treatments, contact lenses and pre-filled syringes, automated pharmacy solutions, as well as opportunities to provide life science solutions that leverage integrated capabilities from across ATS. While some customers who are reliant on external funding within the laboratory research space are evaluating spending more closely, management has not seen a material impact on its overall life sciences funnel activity to date. Funnel activity in food & beverage remains strong. The Company continues to benefit from strong brand recognition within global tomato processing, as well as other soft fruits and vegetable processing industries. There is also continued demand in automated solutions within the food & beverage market more broadly, in areas such as packaging and secondary processing. Funnel activity in consumer products is stable, although discretionary spending by consumers, influenced by factors such as inflationary pressures, may impact timing of some customer investments in the Company's solutions. In transportation, the funnel consists of smaller opportunities relative to the size of Order Bookings in fiscal years 2023 and 2024. ATS has adjusted its capacity so that it can deploy its specialized capabilities to support customers, particularly in EV, as they adjust their investment requirements, increase platform flexibility and reduce costs. Funnel activity in energy remains strong and includes longer-term opportunities in the nuclear industry. The Company is focused on clean energy applications including solutions for the refurbishment of nuclear power plants, early participation in the small modular reactor market, and grid battery storage. Customers seeking to de-risk or enhance supply chain resiliency, address skilled worker shortages or combat higher labour costs present ongoing and future opportunities for ATS. Management believes that the underlying trends driving customer demand for ATS solutions, including rising labour constraints, production onshoring or reshoring and the need for scalable, high-quality, energy-efficient production, remain favourable. In addition, funnel growth in markets where sustainability requirements are a focus for customers — including nuclear and grid battery storage, as well as consumer goods packaging — provides ATS with opportunities to use its capabilities to respond to customer needs, including global and regional requirements to reduce carbon emissions. Order Backlog of $2,068 million is expected to help mitigate some of the impact of quarterly variability in Order Bookings on revenues in the short term. The Company's Order Backlog includes several large enterprise programs that have longer periods of performance and therefore longer revenue recognition cycles, particularly in life sciences. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, management expects to generate revenues in the range of $700 million to $740 million. This estimate is calculated each quarter based on management's assessment of project schedules across all customer contracts in Order Backlog, expectations for faster-turn product and services revenues, expected delivery timing of third-party equipment and operational capacity. Supplier lead times are generally acceptable across key categories; however, inflationary or other cost increases (see "Tariffs"), and price and lead-time volatility may continue to disrupt the timing and progress of the Company's margin expansion efforts and may affect revenue recognition. Over time, achieving management's margin target assumes that the Company will successfully implement its margin expansion initiatives, and that such initiatives will result in improvements to its adjusted earnings from operations margin that offset these shorter-term pressures (see "Forward-Looking Statements" for a description of the risks underlying the achievement of the margin target in future periods). The timing and geographies of customer capital expenditure decisions on larger opportunities can cause variability in Order Bookings from quarter to quarter (see "Tariffs"). Revenues in a given period are dependent on a combination of the volume of outstanding projects the Company is contracted to perform, the size and duration of those projects, and the timing of project activities including design, assembly, testing, and installation. Given the specialized nature of the Company's offerings, the size and scope of projects vary based on customer needs. The Company seeks to achieve revenue growth organically and by identifying strategic acquisition opportunities that provide access to attractive end-markets and new products and technologies and deliver hurdle-rate returns. After-sales revenues and reoccurring revenues, which ATS defines as revenues from ancillary products and services associated with equipment sales, and revenues from customers who purchase non-customized ATS product at regular intervals, are expected to provide some balance to customers' capital expenditure cycles. The Company continues to target improvements in non-cash working capital. Over the long term, the Company expects to continue investing in non-cash working capital to support growth, with some fluctuations expected on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The Company's long-term goal is to maintain its investment in non-cash working capital as a percentage of annualized adjusted revenues below 15%. The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations, together with cash and cash equivalents on hand and credit available under operating and long-term credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in non-cash working capital and capital assets, and to fund strategic investment plans including some potential acquisitions. Acquisitions could result in additional debt or equity financing requirements for the Company. Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues is a non-IFRS ratio — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures." The Company continues to make progress in line with its plans to integrate acquired companies, and expects to realize cost and revenue synergies consistent with announced integration plans. Tariffs With respect to the evolving environment around proposed and implemented tariffs by the U.S. on goods from various jurisdictions globally, and related international responses, management continues to actively monitor the situation and is taking steps to mitigate risks where possible and is continuing to offer support to customers based on their needs, which may include onshoring or reshoring production. Supply chain impacts resulting from shifting trade dynamics have been largely mitigated through alternative sourcing, along with pricing strategies. While the Company could see impacts over time arising from unmitigated costs related to the tariffs themselves, potential supplier price increases, and the timing and geographic shifts in customers' capital deployment, ATS' global footprint and decentralized operating model, supported by the ABM, provide some flexibility to address potential disruptions over the long term. On a trailing twelve month basis, the Company's equipment and product adjusted revenues from its Canadian and European operations being sold into the U.S. remained consistent with the range previously disclosed (just over 20% of the Company's total adjusted revenues for the year ended March 31, 2025). In addition, the majority of the Company's shipments from Canada into the U.S. fall within the current terms of the US-Mexico-Canada ("USMCA") trade agreement. Quarterly Conference Call ATS will host a conference call and webcast at 8:30 a.m. eastern time on Thursday, August 7, 2025 to discuss its quarterly results.

The terms "EBITDA", "organic revenue", "adjusted net income", "adjusted earnings from operations", "adjusted revenues", "adjusted EBITDA", "pro forma adjusted EBITDA", "adjusted basic earnings per share", and "free cash flow", are non-IFRS financial measures, "EBITDA margin", "adjusted earnings from operations margin", "adjusted EBITDA margin", "organic revenue growth", "non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues", and "net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA" are non-IFRS ratios, and "operating margin", "Order Bookings", "organic Order Bookings", "organic Order Bookings growth", "Order Backlog", and "book-to-bill ratio" are supplementary financial measures, all of which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed within IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Such measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, management uses "earnings from operations", which is an additional IFRS measure, to evaluate the performance of the Company. Earnings from operations is presented on the Company's consolidated statements of income as net income excluding income tax expense and net finance costs. Operating margin is an expression of the Company's earnings from operations as a percentage of revenues. EBITDA is defined as earnings from operations excluding depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is an expression of the Company's EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Organic revenue is defined as revenues in the stated period excluding revenues from acquired companies for which the acquired company was not a part of the consolidated group in the comparable period. Organic revenue growth compares the stated period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the comparable prior period. Adjusted earnings from operations is defined as earnings from operations before items excluded from management's internal analysis of operating results, such as amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, restructuring charges, legal settlement costs that arise outside of the ordinary course of business, the mark-to-market adjustment on stock-based compensation and certain other adjustments which would be non-recurring in nature ("adjustment items"). Adjusted earnings from operations margin is an expression of the Company's adjusted earnings from operations as a percentage of revenues. Adjusted revenues are defined as revenues before any adjustment items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted earnings from operations excluding depreciation and amortization. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA is adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis to reflect full contribution from recent acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA margin is an expression of the entity's adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Adjusted basic earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income on a basic per share basis, where adjusted net income is defined as adjusted earnings from operations less net finance costs and income tax expense, plus tax effects of adjustment items and adjusted for other significant items of a non-recurring nature. Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues is defined as the sum of accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories, deposits, prepaids and other assets, less accounts payable, accrued liabilities, provisions and contract liabilities divided by the trailing two fiscal quarter adjusted revenues annualized. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less property, plant and equipment and intangible asset expenditures. Net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA is the ratio of the net debt of the Company (cash and cash equivalents less bank indebtedness, long-term debt, and lease liabilities) to the trailing twelve month pro forma adjusted EBITDA. Order Bookings represent new orders for the supply of automation systems, services and products that management believes are firm. Organic Order Bookings are defined as Order Bookings in the stated period excluding Order Bookings from acquired companies for which the acquired company was not a part of the consolidated group in the comparable period. Organic Order Bookings growth compares the stated period organic Order Bookings with the reported Order Bookings of the comparable prior period. Order Backlog is the estimated unearned portion of revenues on customer contracts that are in process and have not been completed at the specified date. Book to bill ratio is a measure of Order Bookings compared to adjusted revenue. Following amendments to ATS' RSU Plan in 2022 to provide the Company with the option for settlement in shares purchased in the open market and the creation of the employee benefit trust to facilitate such settlement, ATS began to account for equity-settled RSUs using the equity method of accounting. However, prior RSU grants which will be cash-settled and DSU grants which will be cash-settled are accounted for as described in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and have volatility period over period based on the fluctuating price of ATS' common shares. Certain non-IFRS financial measures (adjusted EBITDA, net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings from operations and adjusted basic earnings per share) exclude the impact on stock-based compensation expense of the revaluation of DSUs and RSUs resulting specifically from the change in market price of the Company's common shares between periods. Management believes that this adjustment provides insight into the Company's performance, as share price volatility drives variability in the Company's stock-based compensation expense. Operating margin, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted revenues, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are used by the Company to evaluate the performance of its operations. Management believes that earnings from operations is an important indicator in measuring the performance of the Company's operations on a pre-tax basis and without consideration as to how the Company finances its operations. Management believes that adjusted revenues, organic revenue and organic revenue growth, when considered with IFRS measures, allow the Company to better measure the Company's performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company's performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of the Company's ability to generate operating cash flows to fund continued investment in its operations. Management believes that adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted earnings from operations margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share are important measures to increase comparability of performance between periods. The adjustment items used by management to arrive at these metrics are not considered to be indicative of the business' ongoing operating performance. Management uses the measure "non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues" to assess overall liquidity. Free cash flow is used by the Company to measure cash flow from operations after investment in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Management uses net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of leverage of the Company. Order Bookings provide an indication of the Company's ability to secure new orders for work during a specified period, while Order Backlog provides a measure of the value of Order Bookings that have not been completed at a specified point in time. Both Order Bookings and Order Backlog are indicators of future revenues that the Company expects to generate based on contracts that management believes to be firm. Organic Order Bookings and organic Order Bookings growth allow the Company to better measure the Company's performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic Order Bookings growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company's performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. Book to bill ratio is used to measure the Company's ability and timeliness to convert Order Bookings into revenues. Management believes that ATS shareholders and potential investors in ATS use these additional IFRS measures and non-IFRS financial measures in making investment decisions and measuring operational results. A reconciliation of (i) adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA to net income, (ii) adjusted earnings from operations to net income, (iii) adjusted net income to net income, (iv) adjusted basic earnings per share to basic earnings per share (v) free cash flow to its IFRS measure components and (vi) organic revenue to revenue, in each case for the three months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 is contained in this document (see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures"). This document also contains a reconciliation of (i) non-cash working capital as a percentage of revenues and (ii) net debt to their IFRS measure components, in each case at both June 29, 2025 and March 31, 2025 (see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures"). A reconciliation of Order Bookings and Order Backlog to total Company revenues for the three months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 is also contained in this news release (see "Order Backlog Continuity").
