How to write a resume

A strong resume makes your fit obvious. Start with the role, organize your experience and remove anything that does not help the reader decide.

Read the job posting first

Mark the skills, responsibilities and outcomes the employer is asking for. Your resume should reflect that language honestly.

Write a focused summary

Use a few sentences to connect your role, experience level, strongest skills and target role.

Use results in experience bullets

Explain what you did, the context and what improved because of your work.

Common questions
