Use consistent fonts, spacing, and bullet points throughout your resume. A clean, professional layout makes it easier for recruiters to read.
Use numbers to quantify your achievements (e.g., “Increased sales by 20%,” “Managed a team of 10”). Numbers provide concrete proof of your impact.
Start every bullet point with a strong action verb (e.g., “Led,” “Developed,” “Optimized”). Avoid passive language like “Responsible for.” This makes your achievements sound proactive.
Describe achievements using Situation, Task, Action, Result. Example: “Improved sales (Result) by implementing a new CRM (Action) in a struggling team (Situation/Task).” This provides concrete evidence of skills.
Many companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Use keywords from the job description in your resume. Avoid graphics or complex columns that confuse the parser.
