Took me 5 months to find a job after a layoff, but the real problem was my resume format

Got laid off in March from a logistics coordinator gig in Phoenix. I sent out like 60 applications the first month and heard back from maybe 3 places. A recruiter finally told me my resume was two pages and had a table with skill bars, which auto-reject bots can't read. I rebuilt it as a plain single page with bullet points, and within 2 weeks I landed 4 interviews. Has anyone else gotten ghosted because of a fancy template they thought looked good?
