Make it easy to scan
- Keep it to one page if you have under about 10 years of experience; two pages is fine after that.
- Put your most recent job first.
- Use 3 to 5 bullet points per job, each starting with an action word: led, built, cut, grew, trained.
Show results, not duties
- Numbers stand out: "Trained 12 new hires" says more than "Responsible for training".
- Write what changed because you were there.
- Cut anything that doesn't help with the job you want.
Get past applicant tracking systems
- Many employers scan resumes with software first. Single-column layouts with standard headings read best, and all four of our templates work that way.
- Use words from the job post for skills you really have.
- Send a PDF with real text (like ours), not a photo of a resume, unless the employer asks for Word.
How to make your resume here
- Pick a template from the gallery and an accent color.
- Type over the sample, or press Start blank. The preview updates as you type, and your work saves on this device.
- Download the free PDF, or copy the plain text into an application form.
