1. Keep It to One Page
Recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds scanning a resume. Keep it concise and relevant.
2. Use Action Verbs
Start bullet points with strong action verbs like led, built, increased, and delivered.
3. Quantify Achievements
Numbers stand out. Instead of "improved sales", write "increased sales by 34% in Q2 2025".
4. Tailor for ATS
Many companies use Applicant Tracking Systems. Mirror keywords from the job description in your resume.
5. Clean, Simple Design
Avoid tables, graphics, and fancy fonts. A clean layout is always more ATS-friendly.
