Resume Writing Tips

What is ATS?

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are software used by 99% of Fortune 500 companies to filter resumes. They scan for keywords, proper formatting, and relevant experience. Our templates are designed to pass these systems while still looking professional to human recruiters.

Use Action Verbs

Start bullet points with strong action verbs: Led, Developed, Implemented, Achieved, Reduced, Increased, Managed, Created, Designed, Optimized. Avoid passive language like "Responsible for" or "Worked on."

Quantify Achievements

Use numbers whenever possible: "Increased sales by 25%", "Managed team of 8 engineers", "Reduced costs by $50K annually". Metrics make your impact concrete and memorable.

Tailor for Each Job

Customize your resume for each application. Match keywords from the job description, reorder bullet points to highlight relevant experience, and adjust your summary to align with the role's requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should my resume be?
For most professionals, 1 page is ideal. If you have 10+ years of relevant experience or are in academia, 2 pages is acceptable. Never exceed 2 pages unless specifically requested.
Should I include my photo?
In the US and UK, photos are not recommended due to anti-discrimination laws. In many European and Asian countries, photos are expected. Research the norms for your target market.
What format should I use - PDF or Word?
PDF is generally preferred as it preserves formatting across devices. However, some older ATS systems prefer Word documents. If the job posting specifies a format, use that. When in doubt, PDF is safer.
Is my data secure?
Yes! All your resume data is stored locally in your browser (localStorage). We never upload or store your personal information on our servers. Your data stays on your device.
