Tips for a strong professional resume
Lead with a focused summary
Two to four lines on your role, years of experience and the results you are known for. See summary examples.
Show results, not duties
Use numbers where truthful: budgets, team sizes, growth and time saved. See the work experience guide.
Focus on the last 10 to 15 years
Summarize earlier roles briefly, or leave them out if they are not relevant.
Tailor each application
Duplicate your resume for each job and adjust the summary, skills and top bullets. The job description matcher helps.
