✅Use short, succinct bullet points:
If a recruiter was to pick up your resume right now, how easy would it be for them to skim it in 30 seconds and get a sense of your experiences and accomplishments? Short, succinct bullet points are key to your resume's readability.

✅Only add a Summary section if you need one:
Your resume is already meant to be a concise summary of your achievements. There's no need to re-summarize it in a paragraph form. The only exception is if you need to add important information that is not already in another section.

✅Use a simple resume template:
Don't get overly creative when it comes to choosing a resume template. Recruiters want to be able to quickly get a sense of your experience, and fancy resume templates make it hard for them to do that...

It's the content that's important, not your design, don't ever get that mixed up.

✅Accomplishments, not responsibilities:

Remember, your bullet points should always tell the recruiter or hiring manager what you accomplished, and not what you do on a day to day basis.
If you find yourself starting your bullet point with 'Responsible for' or a weak verb like 'Assisted', you're likely writing about your responsibilities and not your accomplishments.
✅Quantify your impact using numbers and metrics:
Did your achievement save time for your team? Increase revenue? While you might not be able to do this for every bullet point, do it where you can.

If you're applying to a job online, your resume will be passed through a resume screener, or ATS (applicant tracking system).
If your resume isn't readable by it, you'll likely not be passed on to the next stage. Avoid images, tables and fancy resume templates.
