What Makes a Resume Stand Out

Hiring managers spend 6-7 seconds on initial resume scans. Here's what they look for:

Professional Summary (Top)
3-4 lines that immediately communicate your value and target role.

Work Experience (Largest Section)
Reverse chronological. Each role has 3-5 bullet points with quantified achievements — not just responsibilities.

Skills Section
Technical and soft skills relevant to the target job. Keywords that match the job posting.

Education & Certifications
Degrees, relevant coursework, professional certifications.

Browse our examples to see these principles applied across different industries.

Common Resume Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

❌ Walls of Text
Dense paragraphs that no one reads. → Use bullet points, white space, clear sections.

❌ Responsibilities Instead of Achievements
"Managed a team" → "Led 8-person team that increased sales by 23% in Q3"

❌ One Resume for All Jobs
Generic doesn't work. → Tailor keywords and emphasis to each application.

❌ Outdated Information
Jobs from 15 years ago, irrelevant skills. → Focus on last 10 years, relevant experience.

❌ Missing Keywords
ATS filters you out. → Mirror language from the job posting.
