Lead with relevance
Customize the top third of your resume for each application. Mirror the language of the job posting for skills and outcomes, and put your strongest, most recent experience first. Recruiters skim in seconds — make the match obvious.
Write impact bullets
Replace task lists with results: what you owned, how you did it, and what changed. Prefer numbers when you can (revenue, time saved, conversion, team size). One strong bullet beats three vague ones.
Keep structure simple
Use a clean single-column layout, consistent dates, and readable section headers. Skip graphics-heavy templates that break ATS parsers. Include skills that appear in the roles you’re targeting — not every tool you’ve ever touched.
Use Role Match while you search
Browse live openings to see which skills and titles repeat across companies you like. Then tighten your resume toward those patterns. AI chat can help you rewrite bullets for a specific posting without inventing experience.
