Resume Writing Tips

Expert advice to help your resume stand out—in both ATS systems and human eyes.

Use Job Description Keywords Naturally

Mirror the language in the job posting—but avoid stuffing. AI detects forced repetition.

Quantify Your Achievements

Instead of 'Managed a team,' say 'Led a 5-person team that increased revenue by 30%.'

Keep Formatting Simple

Avoid columns, graphics, or text boxes—most ATS can’t read them.

One Page Only (Unless Senior)

Recruiters spend ~7 seconds scanning. Concise = impactful.

Tailor Every Resume

A generic resume gets generic results. Use AI to customize fast.
