Professional Summary

Formula:
CODEBLOCK0

Example:
CODEBLOCK1

Avoid objective statements ("Seeking a position where I can grow...")—they're outdated and self-focused.

Experience Bullets

CAR Formula: Action Verb + Task + Result with Metrics

CODEBLOCK2

Action verbs by category:

Leadership	Technical	Growth	Efficiency
Led, Directed	Developed, Architected	Increased, Grew	Reduced, Streamlined
Managed, Mentored

Engineered, Built | Expanded, Generated | Automated, Optimized |

Limit 3-5 bullets per role. Start with strongest achievement.

Quantification

Every bullet should have numbers when possible:

Vague	Quantified
Managed a team	Managed team of 12 across 3 time zones
Improved performance

Reduced load time from 4s to 800ms |
| Increased revenue | Generated $1.2M ARR from new product line |
| Handled support | Resolved 50+ tickets/week with 98% satisfaction |

Types of metrics: revenue ($), percentage (%), time saved, team size, users/customers, scale (requests/sec), satisfaction scores

ATS Optimization

75% of resumes never reach human eyes due to ATS filtering.

Do:

• - Standard section headers: "Work Experience", "Education", "Skills"
• Both acronym AND full version: "AWS (Amazon Web Services)"
• Keywords from job description, naturally integrated
• Standard fonts: Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman (10pt minimum)
• PDF with selectable text (not scanned image)

Don't:

• - Tables, columns, or text boxes—ATS can't parse them
• Headers/footers with important info—ATS may skip them
• Images, logos, or graphics
• Creative headers: "My Journey" → "Experience"
• Special symbols (✓, ➤)—use standard bullets (•, -)
• Keyword stuffing—triggers spam filters

Tech Industry

Must include:

• - GitHub profile URL
• Technical skills categorized (Languages, Frameworks, Cloud, Tools)
• Projects with live links
• Scale metrics (users, requests/sec, data volume)

Skills format:
CODEBLOCK3

Avoid: Obsolete tech (jQuery, Flash), "Proficient in Microsoft Office", vague titles ("Code Ninja")

Design Industry

Must include:

• - Portfolio link (prominent, first line after name)
• Tools: Figma, Sketch, Adobe CC
• Process: user research, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing
• Impact metrics: conversion rates, user satisfaction scores

Avoid: Resume without portfolio link (instant rejection), listing only tools without methodology

Length Guidelines

Experience	Length
Student / Entry-level	1 page
1-5 years

1 page | | 5-10 years | 1-2 pages | | 10+ years / Executive | 2 pages max | | Academic CV | No limit |

For senior roles, condense early-career positions to 1-2 lines.

Common Mistakes

• - Listing responsibilities instead of achievements—shows what you did, not impact
• Starting bullets with "Responsible for..."—passive voice, no impact
• No metrics—impossible to gauge value delivered
• Same resume for every job—ATS matches keywords to job description
• Typos and grammar errors—instant rejection at many companies
• Unprofessional email (cooldude99@...)—use firstname.lastname@
• Including photo in US applications—bias concerns, often auto-rejected
• PDF from image/scan—ATS can't extract text
• More than 2 pages—recruiters spend 6-7 seconds on first scan
• First-person pronouns ("I managed...")—remove, start with verbs
