Tips for a stronger resume
- Lead with a 2 to 3 line summary that names your role and years of experience.
- Write each experience line as action + task + result with a number.
- Name tools and standards exactly as job posts write them, so an ATS (applicant tracking system, the software many employers use to store, search and filter resumes) can match them.
- Show training and licence near the top, where a recruiter looks first.
