The Perfect Resume Structure 

Not sure how to structure your resume?

Here’s our tried-and-tested resume layout :

• Choose the right resume format or pick a template. If you’re formatting your resume yourself, follow the reverse-chronological format and make sure to follow the right layout rules. Alternatively, you can use one of our premade resume templates and not have to worry about formatting your resume one bit. 
• Add relevant contact details and make sure they’re mistake-free. You shouldn’t be missing information such as your full name and job title, e-mail address, and where you’re based. Optionally, you can also include some relevant social media profiles, such as your LinkedIn.
• Include a resume summary or a resume objective. Done right, a resume summary will show the hiring manager you’re a relevant candidate from the get-go and have them read the rest of your resume.
• List your work experience, placing special focus on your achievements. Your work experience becomes more meaningful if you include your achievements in your past roles and manage to make them quantifiable.
• Mention your top soft and hard skills. List any skills you have that are relevant to the job you’re applying for in a seperate section. 
• Keep your education section short and concise. Unless you’re an entry-level candidate with little-to-no work experience, keep your education section short and to the point. 
• Leverage optional sections like “Languages,” “Certifications,” or “Hobbies and Interests.” Fill up the rest of your resume space with optional sections that can highlight your strengths and qualifications as a candidate (e.g. foreign languages you speak, certifications you’ve obtained over the years, or your hobbies and interests).

3 Examples of Resume Formats 

#1. reverse chronological resume format.

This resume format highlights your experience and key professional achievements by listing your latest position and acquired skills first. It’s the most popular resume format among recruiters and the one we advise job seekers to use in 99% of cases. 

#2. Functional Resume Format

A functional resume , also known as the skill-based resume, is a resume format that focuses on your professional skill test as opposed to work experience. You’re better off using a functional resume if you’re a recent graduate with no work experience, if you’re switching careers, or if you have a long employment gap . 

#3. Hybrid Resume Format

A combination resume combines the two traditional resume formats: the reverse-chronological resume and the functional resume.

As such, this format places emphasis on a candidate’s skills and work experience.

Essential components of a resume in 2024

If your resume doesn’t contain the right sections, you’ll likely be passed over in favor of other applicants. Here are the essential components to include on your resume in 2024:

Header: The resume header is found at the top or on the side of your resume. Its main purpose is to keep your name and contact information handy so the employer can easily set up an interview with you. The header also adds a touch of attractive formatting to your resume.

Professional Summary: The resume summary consists of 3-4 sentences that convey your top skills, experiences, and accomplishments. The goal of the summary is to catch the hiring manager’s attention and encourage them to keep reading your resume.

Employment History: This is the place to list your previous positions , along with bullet points that explain your duties, accomplishments , and the skills used in each job.

Education : Your education section lists degrees and diplomas in order to give the employer a sense of your background and qualifications for the role.

Skills: The skills section is the place to highlight your unique attributes or areas of expertise . Make sure to focus both on hard skills (technical knowledge) and soft skills (personality traits.)

Choosing the right resume example format

When it comes to choosing the right resume format , it’s important to think about the amount of experience you have to show, the type of job you are applying for, and the hiring manager’s expectations. 

Here are three different resume sample formats to choose from:

Chronological resume format : 

The chronological — also known as reverse chronological — resume format is the “standard” structure that most hiring managers will expect to see. This format focuses on the employment history section, where you can list previous positions and create bullet points that explain your key qualifications for the role. We recommend this format as the best choice for professionals and anyone with at least three previous jobs to show.

Functional resume format

The functional resume format is best-suited to students and first-time job seekers because it places less emphasis on previous experience. Instead, your resume begins with the skills section, where you can describe your key attributes and how you’ve applied those skills in other experiences.

Combination resume format

The combination, or hybrid, resume format is exactly what it sounds like — a combination of the previous two resume formats, which offers maximum flexibility when assembling your resume. This format is best suited to freelancers and other independent professionals.

Not sure which format to choose? Within our resume builder, you can create and save different versions of your resume so that the right format is always at your fingertips.

5 Quick tips on using resume examples

Resume examples and templates are a great resource for building your resume, but it is important to think of them as a guideline, not a perfect match.

Tip #1. Customize your resume with the most important professional information specific to you. Your goal should be to catch the eye of the hiring manager/recruiter with the content of your unique resume.

Tip #2. Use keywords (skills) to make your resume unique to you. Before sending your resume out to each company, take a close look at the job post to which you are applying. Ask yourself: What are the most important qualifications for this job? Which skills or keywords are mentioned more than once?

Tip #3. Once you determine those keywords, add them to your own resume where they apply. Keywords are crucial for getting past applicant tracking systems (ATS), a software used by most major companies to search and organize your resume based on keywords. Many times, your resume will never be seen by the hiring manager/recruiter if it is not optimized for ATS.

Tip #4. Always use measurable accomplishments! This creates more impact and tells the recruiter or hiring manager what you have done and what you can bring to the company.

Tip #5. Save your time and use Jobscan’s Resume Scanner to help you automatically identify the most important keywords for you and get past the ATS.

Pro Tip: Always tailor your resume to the specific job you are applying for!

Frequently asked questions about resume examples

What is a resume example, why should i use resume examples.

Using a resume example can help you with that initial writing block. You get a ready-made design and layout template to follow. The only thing that you should focus on is writing a good experience section , including your skills that best fit the job description, and ensuring that you’ve tailored your resume.

What should a resume look like in 2024?

When you’re choosing the design of your resume you have to take into consideration the fact that most resumes have to pass an ATS before a recruiter lays eyes on it.

In almost all cases, using a reverse-chronological resume format should be your first choice. Applicant tracking systems are best at reading that format. Furthermore, hiring managers love it.

How do you write a resume example?

First, we start by picking a format that’s most suitable to the industry you’re applying for. Then we choose a suitable design – this includes font , margins , and backgrounds.

Once we have the basic layout done, we start adding sections that match the company in which you’re looking to get a job – like a resume summary for more traditional industries and a “My Time” section for more creative ones.

Are these the best resume examples for 2024?

We’ve handpicked all of the best-performing resumes across different industries. This includes design, wording, and the different sections that are featured on the resume.

We’ve ensured that you get to see high-quality resume examples that will help you create a quality resume yourself.

How do I adjust these resume examples to my needs?

You can start with an example and go into the Enhancv resume builder . From there you can use the design and layout of the resume of your choosing and re-write it to have your information.

Or, you can explore a few different examples related to your industry and build your resume from scratch using one of our resume templates .

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Perfect Resume (With Examples!)

Your resume is arguably the most valuable piece of paper for your career. But this document can be daunting for many. Maybe you’re not sure how to fit in all your information onto one page. Maybe you’re not sure about the right way to format and write your resume. Maybe you don’t even know what the heck a resume is!

Whatever your concern, we’ll break down everything you need to know about making the perfect resume, from scratch.

What Is a Resume?

What are employers looking for in a resume.

• Pick Your Format
• Start With Your Basic Information
• Add in Your Work Experience
• Consider Including Volunteer Work or Other Experience
• Don’t Forget Your Education
• Top It Off With Some Skills and Interests
• Write a Resume Summary Statement (if Relevant)
• Tailor It to the Job (and the ATS)
• Edit and Refine It

What Are Some Examples of a Good Resume?

A resume is a summary of your career, whether yours is just getting started or has been going on for years. Coming in at around one page in length (two only under specific circumstances), it showcases the jobs you’ve held and currently hold, the responsibilities you’ve taken on, the skills you’ve developed, and the qualities you bring to the table as an employee. Together, those things make it super easy for any hiring manager to see your qualifications and fit for a role.

For all the work you may put into writing one, hiring managers actually spend very little time—mere seconds in many cases—looking at your resume. But despite this sad fact, it’s safe to say that creating a great resume (rather than hastily throwing one together) still matters.

“If you miss the mark, your resume may never be read. Even worse, you might be removed from the applicant pool by a computer before a human even knows you exist,” says Muse career coach Heather Yurovsky , founder of Shatter & Shine. So you want to get it right because, as she explains, isn’t the goal to “spend less time looking for a job and more time in a role you love?”

You might be wondering if you can lean on your LinkedIn profile instead of writing a resume. The answer, sadly, is no. Most hiring managers still expect you to submit a resume, even if they also look at your LinkedIn. Even if you don’t need a resume for a job you’re applying for now, you’re going to need one at some point in your career—they’re not anywhere close to going out of style. So it’s best to always have one at the ready should an opportunity pop up.

And although LinkedIn has plenty of benefits, a resume has one clear advantage: While your LinkedIn is usually a broader picture of your career trajectory, your resume gives you the opportunity to tailor your career story to a specific role or company (more on that later).

Oh, and you’ve probably heard of something called a CV? It’s slightly different from a resume , and usually more common with academics and job seekers outside the U.S.

Hiring managers look for three things on your resume, “What did you do? Why did you do it? And what was the result?” says Muse career coach Martin McGovern , owner of Career Therapy. “If you can answer all three of these questions in...your resume bullet points, you’re going to be on the right track.”

Clear, easy-to-understand language is key. “The truth is that most resumes make no sense. They are stuffed with jargon, they are too technical, and they are filled with redundancies. Try to read a resume that isn’t yours and you will quickly realize that it feels like an alien wrote it,” McGovern adds. Put yourself in the shoes of a recruiter who has no idea how your role works—how can you make your resume accessible to them?

The hiring manager also cares about more than just you and you alone—they care about you in relation to them. “Hiring managers want to see if a candidate matches the requirements” of the role they’re hiring for, Yurovsky explains. “Your resume should paint this picture so the hiring manager not only knows what day-to-day responsibilities you can handle, but why you, above other[s], bring value to their organization.”

How Do You Write a Resume?

Whether you’re someone who’s never written a resume in your life, or you need a nice, thorough refresher on the process of creating one, follow these steps to go from a blank page to a complete—and dare I say beautiful—document.

Related: This Free Worksheet Makes It Easy to Create (or Update) Your Resume

1. Pick Your Format

Before you start typing one single thing, you have to decide what you want the overall resume to look like.

Resume builders can be helpful for this step—they’ll take all your basic information and organize it for you, eliminating some of the legwork. You can also use a pre-made outline, such as one of these free Google Docs templates .

But it’s often safest to start with a clean slate all on your own and eventually upgrade to a more advanced layout. (If you'd still like a place to write all the relevant information before you get started, check out our resume outline .) This allows you to course correct, edit and re-edit, and choose a resume format that best fits your particular situation (after all, not everyone has a career trajectory that’s easy to compartmentalize).

In general, you’re most likely to cover and/or include sections on the following:

• Your work experience
• Your non-work experience, including professional organizations, community involvement, or side projects
• Your education and certifications
• Your skills (specifically hard skills) and interests

So how do you format and organize all of that information?

By far the most common (and safest, if you’re not sure which route to take) option is reverse chronological order . This means you organize your experiences from most recent to least recent. So your work experiences would go above your education, and your current role would go above previous roles you’ve held. This of course has its exceptions—maybe you went back to grad school between jobs, or your most recent role is irrelevant to the job you’re applying for. So the whole page may not be exactly in reverse chronological order depending on your situation. It’s just a guideline.

There’s also something called a functional or skills-based resume . This is used pretty rarely, mainly with career changers and those with limited or complicated work histories. It gets its name because it’s primarily about listing your skills rather than experiences, and showcases them above your work history and education.

You can also opt for a combination resume , which is a mix between a reverse chronological resume and skills-based resume. It highlights your skills at the top, but allows just as much room below to cover your job and school experience.

Use caution when choosing these two formats: “Combo and skills-based [resumes] can be hard to follow, because [they force] the reader to hunt for connections between your skills and experience, and [don’t] provide the full context of your work,” says Muse Career Coach Angela Smith , founder of Loft Consulting. “I’ve also heard a lot of recruiters say that they automatically discount skill-based resumes because they feel the candidate is trying to hide something. I don’t necessarily believe that, but I think it’s important for job-seekers to know that perception is out there.”

2. Start With Your Basic Information

Your contact information should always go at the top of your resume. In this header you’ll want to include anything that could be helpful for a recruiter to get in touch with you. Usually, this means adding in:

• Your full name (preferably the name you use across the web)
• Your phone number
• Your personal email address

You might also choose to include other basic information, such as your LinkedIn or personal website URL, your GitHub (for technical roles), your social media profiles (if relevant to the job), or your address. If you’re looking to move for a job, you may choose to leave out your address or write “open to relocating” to better your chances of getting an interview.

The key is to make this part as clear as possible. If a hiring manager can’t reach you, there’s no point in perfecting the rest of your resume.

3. Add in Your Work Experience

This section will most likely be the bulk of your resume. Even if you’re changing careers, employers still want to see where you’ve worked, what you’ve done, and the impact of that work to get a sense of your background and expertise.

Your “Work Experience” might be one entire category, or you might choose to break it up into “Relevant Experience” and “Additional Experience” to highlight the jobs that are most important for hiring managers to focus on. Either way, you’ll almost always want to have your most recent experience at the top and your older experience down below.

Within your work experience, you’ll want to include each official job title, the company (and possibly its location), and the years you worked there. Below that, you’ll add in two to four bullet points explaining what you did in that job, the skills you built and exercised, the tools you used, and the results of what you did. If you accomplished a lot during your time there, focus on the responsibilities that made the most impact or you’re the most proud of, as well as the ones that best align you with the job you’re applying for (more on that in the following sections). It’s key here to list, if relevant, quantitative as well as qualitative accomplishments.

For example, you might write:

Associate Accountant, Finances and Co., Ann Arbor, MI September 2017 – Present

• Manage billing and invoicing for more than 50 clients, ensuring the deadlines and needs of our enterprise partners, including Big Company and Super Star Org, are met
• Collaborate closely with sales, account management, and project management teams on project setup, maintenance, and invoice management
• Assist in the streamlining of invoicing guidelines and procedures through documentation and the implementation of new software, resulting in an average two-week decrease in total time spent per client

Your resume bullets should be in past tense if you’re referring to past jobs and present tense if you’re talking about your current roles. In addition, your bullets should always start with a strong action verb that best describes what you did. And if you have examples of your work, consider hyperlinking them here as well.

If you have a ton of experience and this category is starting to run long (read: over one page), consider kicking out your oldest jobs unless they’re super relevant to the job you’re applying for, or extra impressive for your field.

Not sure where to start? “It’s helpful to do a brain dump and create a document that has everything and anything you consider as experience or an achievement,” says Yurovsky. From there, she explains, you can start to whittle down what is and isn’t important. And you can refer to this document later if you ever decide to update your resume for a specific role.

4. Consider Including Volunteer Work or Other Experience

Anything you’ve done that’s not work experience—your side gig, volunteer work, special projects—can be hosted under clearly-labeled sections (“Volunteer Experience” or “Activities,” for example). Depending on how robust your work experience is, these things may be worth including, particularly if they’ve helped you level up your skill set or better align you with your dream job. Plus, they make you look that much more well-rounded, passionate, and hardworking.

If you’re a recent grad, you might also build out a section for on-campus activities, such as clubs, organizations, or leadership experience. This can be a great supplement if you’re lacking in the jobs department. You can frame these just as you would professional jobs—including your title, the organization’s name, and bullets describing what your role was and what you accomplished.

5. Don’t Forget Your Education

If you’re still in school or just graduated, your education can go at the top of your resume, but for pretty much everyone else, this goes near the bottom. Most people include their school, graduation year (for folks less up to about a decade out of school), major, and degree. Brand-new grads might also write in their GPA, honors and awards, study abroad, thesis, or other notable achievements. But keep this section super simple, as you don’t want it to take up too much space over your work experience.

It’s possible you have unique education experience, such as taking an online course or certification. If you did this specifically as a way to boost yourself within your industry, definitely include it. Again, list everything more or less reverse chronologically—so a grad school degree would go above an undergrad degree, and a more recent relevant online course would go above that.

6. Top It Off With Some Skills and Interests

The skills section of a resume gets a bad rap, but it’s just as important as the rest of the stuff you include. It’s a quick list a recruiter can scan to see if your skill set aligns with what they’re hiring for. And it’s super ATS-friendly (ATS stands for “applicant tracking system,” the robot that in some cases reads your resume before a human does) because it allows you to add in keywords the machine is scanning for.

Usually this section goes at the bottom of your resume, but in special cases—such as a skills-based resume or when someone’s switching fields—you may place it further up.

What exactly do you throw in here? You’ll want to list any hard skills and applications you’re familiar with (Photoshop, SEO, JavaScript, to name a few examples), and, if relevant, your level of expertise. Avoid including soft skills here, like time management or public speaking—save those for your bullet points instead.

Be strategic when filling in your skills. Don’t list things you actually couldn’t do at a high competence level (I’m looking at those of you who say you’re “great” at Excel), and maybe nix skills that are completely irrelevant to the job you want. For example, you may not even need to include Excel if you’re applying for say, a design position, unless it’s listed as a job requirement.

Maybe you’re thinking, I’m a really good volleyball player, but that’s not a “skill,” right? No, it’s not, but it is a hobby. Adding in a hobby section at the bottom of your resume is underrated, and frequently a smart choice. It can be a great conversation starter with a hiring manager, and it can show that you’re a good culture fit—or a culture add—for the company. Also, it’s just a nice way to add in some of your personality. So tack on a bullet point listing out some of your interests, such as hiking, rowing, or crafting (no more than five to seven work-appropriate verbs), and you’re all set here.

7. Write a Resume Summary Statement (if Relevant)

You may have heard of a resume summary statement . They’re not super common, but they can be useful to include near the top of your resume if you’re looking to add clarity or context to your resume. If you’re a career changer, you might find a summary statement helpful in explaining your leap and tying your experience to your new path. Or if you’re a more experienced professional, you can use a summary statement to highlight a theme that brings your career trajectory together.

Overall, you probably won’t need a summary statement if your career is pretty linear and your bullet points do a great job of emphasizing what you have to offer in terms of skills and experience. But if you think it makes sense to include one, “Take the time to think about what the person reading your summary wants to know before you write it,” says McGovern. “Good summaries explain why you do what you do and how it can help. For instance: Merging a background in ABC, I help companies improve XYZ through 123. Summaries shouldn’t be any more complicated than that.”

So, taking McGovern’s example, you might say:

Merging a background in social media marketing and PR with seven years in the consumer tech space, I help companies improve their internal and external communication and brand awareness through data-driven, quality content and strategies that align with the modern trends of the space.

Yurovsky adds that “you don’t want your summary statement to be a dense paragraph with too much information. You want it to be easy to read, concise, and memorable. Almost like a tagline.”

8. Tailor It to the Job (and the ATS)

Once you have your resume written out—you’ve broken down your work experience, tagged on some activities and additional experiences, and listed out your skills—it’s important to go back to the job description (or multiple job descriptions, if you’re applying to several similar jobs) and make sure that what your resume says matches up with the kind of candidate the employers are looking for. In other words, tailor it .

Let’s explain further. You’ll want to begin by tackling the ATS . This means combing the job description to see if individual words and phrases line up. What skills are they asking for, and have you listed them (so long as you actually have them)? What words are they using to describe their ideal hire, and do you use similar language in your resume?

Next, take a bird’s-eye view. If you were the hiring manager for the role, where on your resume would your eyes be drawn to? And what would you be looking for? Whatever you think will be most important for the recruiter, make sure it’s near the top of your resume, or otherwise emphasized.

Finally, dig into the role and responsibilities of the job. Does your resume reflect similar experience? If not, is there a way you can spin it so that it’s clear you’re capable of doing the job (and doing it well)?

These articles can help you if the word “tailoring” makes you start to sweat:

• Your Guide to Making Unrelated Experience Look Relevant on Your Resume

9. Edit and Refine It

Please, please don’t just write your resume and shoot it out without giving it a second glance. Hiring managers may not spend hours browsing it, but if there’s one thing that sticks out more than anything else it’s a glaring typo.

The best approach? Write a rough draft, then leave and come back to it later with fresh eyes to give it an edit.

Cover the basics: Is your contact information correct and updated? Are you using the right verb tenses? Does everything look consistent and accurate in terms of spelling and grammar?

Then do some cutting if your resume’s quite long. It’s no longer a hard-and-fast rule that all resumes must be only one page—but consider it a smart guideline for most applicants, especially if you've got less than 10 years work experience. The exception is if you’re very senior or very established in your career; in this scenario, a two-page resume isn’t completely out of the question. Everyone else, read this article for advice on how to cut your resume down.

Formatting-wise, it’s key to consider a couple things. First, what font are you using , and is it legible (for a human and a robot)? When in doubt, go with one of these simple, but sleek, options: Arial, Arial Narrow, Calibri, Cambria, Garamond, or Helvetica.

Second, are you going to save it as a Word document or PDF ? Neither option is wrong, although a PDF helps ensure that your formatting is maintained, no matter what type of computer the hiring manager uses to open the document.

Third, is your resume formatted in a way that it’s skimmable? If it’s feeling crowded or overrun with words, read this: 12 Tiny Changes That Make Your Resume Easy for Recruiters to Skim .

Once you’ve given it a few good looks, it may be worth sending it to a friend or colleague (or even a career coach ) to get a second opinion. Don’t just have them edit it for spelling and grammar—they should dig into your bullets and offer feedback on whether or not your resume is showing you in the best possible light (it’s smart to also send them the job description for something to compare it to).

Here’s the thing: Your resume won’t ever look exactly like someone else’s, nor should it. How you choose to format it, organize your information, and talk about specific experiences depends not just on your career path, but on your field, the job you’re applying for, the company that job is at, and more.

So there isn’t a universal way to do a resume. But there are common themes. To give you some context as to how yours might turn out, here are three examples of different kinds of resumes.

The Most Popular: A Reverse Chronological Resume

As previously mentioned, a reverse chronological resume is preferred by many coaches and HR experts, mainly because it’s super readable. When everything’s in a clear order, it’s easy to skim and even easier to draw lines between experiences.

Who it’s good for: Just about everyone—from students applying to internships all the way up to senior-level executives (with an optional resume summary statement)

Download an Example Chronological Resume for a Software Engineer

The Unorthodox Route: A Functional or Skills-Based Resume

Rather than listing out your experience in reverse chronological order, a functional or skills-based resume has bullet points that reflect how each of your skills is demonstrated by the work you’ve done over the course of your career. At the bottom, you’ll include everything else, such as your education, job history, professional achievements, community involvement, and other technical skills. This is a good option if you have a somewhat all-over-the-place work history and want to tie everything together neatly.

Who it’s good for: Career changers whose work experiences may not appear to be relevant and people with an abundance of temporary jobs or gaps in their work histories.

Download an Example Functional Resume for a Project Manager

The Creative Angle: An Infographic Resume or Resume Website

This resume type is characterized by how it’s formatted visually. You may choose a reverse chronological order or skills-based style to organize your information, but also use graphics, colors, unique fonts, and even multimedia elements to help that information pop. Keep in mind that any creative resume is still likely subject to an ATS—and certain elements may be unreadable by a robot. So consider going this route only if you know a human will be reading your resume (and that said human might enjoy it).

Who it’s good for: People applying to creative roles (designers, editors, writers, marketers, video producers, for example), startups, or fun companies, or to jobs where a creative resume is encouraged, if not required.

• 5 Sites to Create an Awesome Infographic Resume (Even if You’re the Least Creative Person Ever)
• How to Build a Resume Website That Will Impress Every Hiring Manager Who Sees It
• 5 Digital Tools That Will Make Your Resume Infinitely More Beautiful

Your resume is a living, breathing document. So while you won’t go through this whole process every time you apply for a job, you should be thinking about all these things as you go to update your resume for your next career step. You might decide later on to switch up the order, or remove or add things, or even get creative and try out a whole new format. If you’re not getting the calls back you expect, you may decide to scrap it and start over —and that’s totally OK.

Regardless of where this piece of paper goes and how it grows, when you give it the care and attention it deserves, you set yourself up for success. And you’ll make it that much more likely that you’ll land an interview and get the chance to prove to the hiring manager—over the phone or in person—what you’ve got to offer.

Why Use a Resume Example When Putting Together Your Own Resume?

When you’re applying for jobs, you’re probably in one of two camps. You might be working and applying at the same time, which means you’re very short on time. Or, you’re applying without a job in which case you probably need to get hired ASAP.

In either case, you need to simplify the process of creating a great resume any way you can. Starting off by carefully reviewing proven resume examples from your specific industry is one of the most effective ways to do that.

It’s like trying to build a car without being allowed to look at one. Sure, you’ve seen cars before, but being able to compare what you’re doing to the best designs out there is going to give you far better results. Plus, when you can see how your resume compares to top-quality resume examples , you can go into the job searching process with more confidence.

How Does Using a Resume Example Help You with the Job Search?

Creating an effective resume is about getting all the details right. But even for seasoned resume experts, it’s easy to forget something. After all, you might think resumes haven’t changed much, but the onset of powerful and user-friendly resume builders means the resumes you’re competing against probably look very different than they would have just a few years ago.

But using resume examples is also about perspective. One of the fundamental mistakes most job applicants make is not thinking about the audience for their resume. This isn’t your prospective employer, it’s the hiring manager who works for them. You need to always be thinking about that hiring manager.

Using resume examples, however, makes it easy. By imagining you’re a hiring manager and analyzing examples, you can get a feel for what makes a resume more effective in your industry. Then, you can implement those lessons on your own resume.

Using resume examples, however, makes it easy. By imagining you’re a hiring manager and analyzing examples, you can get a feel for what makes a resume more effective in your industry. Then, you can implement those lessons on your own resume."

How Do You Write a Resume in 2023 Using Resume Examples?

"The first step of this process is finding good examples. A simple Google search will show that the internet is full of resume examples for every conceivable job. However, not all of them are created equal. You want to avoid poor-quality examples thrown together without care or auto-generated by an algorithm.

So how do you tell which examples are worth your time?

What makes a good resume example? There are a few telltale signs of a quality resume example. The first place to look is the site where you found it. If it’s specifically focused on your industry and includes resume examples and tips for getting hired, you’re likely to find good examples by people familiar with what hiring managers will look for within your position.

If you’re evaluating a site with resume examples for multiple industries, look for hints that they’ve been created by people who understand your industry. Do their examples misuse jargon? Do the skills, accomplishments, and experience in the resume make sense? Are there unique elements that make them stand out?

As you review more resume examples, you’ll also start to develop your own sense of what makes them effective. All that said, it’s actually still worth seeing a few bad examples to understand what your resume should avoid.

How to gather relevant information from examples? Start with your first impression. One of the most important missions your resume will have is creating a strong first impression in the mind of a hiring manager. So which element of the resume example stands out? What is the first thing you read? After you’ve read that first section, what do you think about the candidate?

Then, as you read the resume, what questions do you have? For example, if you mention you have experience coding in a specific programming language but don’t give any more details, the reader might wonder “what kind of experience? What did you create with that language?” If that question is answered at the end of your resume, the entire time they’re reading your resume they will have that nagging question in their mind.

These are the kinds of questions you want to anticipate and get ahead of. If the reader finds that everything in your resume is clear and the questions they have are quickly and efficiently answered, you’ll look fantastic as a candidate.

As you review more resume examples and read through skills and work experience within those, you’ll get a better feel for how a resume can handle these questions.

How to apply that information to your own resume? As mentioned, while you’re reviewing resume examples you’ll want to take notes about what you like, don’t like, and what stands out. This can serve as the starting point when you’re writing your own resume.

However, you shouldn’t stop there. It’s best to pause a few times while working on your resume and look back at that list. Are you falling into some of the traps you found in other resume examples? This is when you should try and look at your resume from the perspective of a hiring manager.

Of course, that’s not always easy to do, so consider getting a trusted friend or colleague to help you out. They can review some relevant resume examples as well before helping you evaluate yours. You can also provide them with your list of “dos and don’ts” and ask them whether you nailed them all on your resume."

How Do I Personalize an Example to Make an Impressive Resume?

"As we mentioned above, personalizing is perhaps the single best way to boost your chances of getting hired with your resume. But it’s also easier said than done. How you personalize your resume makes a big difference. But first, why should you bother taking the extra time?

When a resume is tailored for a specific position, this tells the hiring manager and employer several key things. The first is simply that you took the time to do the job right. Instead of cutting corners by sending out identical resumes, you put in the extra effort. This communicates a tremendous amount about you as a person and a candidate. Next, it simply tells them you have the skills and experience they need, which is the main goal of your resume anyways.

Ultimately, a resume is all about communicating information. Mostly that’s done by listing facts, but we all know that actions speak louder than words. By personalizing your resume, you’re communicating what kind of candidate you are through your actions. Considering how few applicants overall do this, you’ll stand out and be far more memorable to that hiring manager who’s reviewed 70 resumes this week.

How to personalize it for every job and why that’s important? The single easiest way to personalize your resume for a job is to start by researching the employer and the position. Ultimately, you’re being hired to solve some set of problems. If you can identify the skills and experience the role calls for to solve those problems, you’ll be able to show why you’re a great candidate for the job.

The first way to do this is to carefully read the job description. Read between the lines and ask yourself “what would the perfect candidate for this position look like?” Also list all of the specific skills, accomplishments, and qualifications mentioned in the job description that are relevant to your own experience and background.

At this point, you can try to take your resume personalization to the next level by researching the employer themselves. Look into what challenges they’re facing and how you can help address them. If your resume can frame you as someone who can help solve a major problem at a prospective employer, you’ll stand out."

What Should I Include on My Resume?

"There are a number of key pieces of information that you need to include in your resume. The following six resume sections cover the most pertinent information hiring managers are looking for:

Contact information: Your name, address, phone number, and email address. A Resume Summary or Resume Objective: A section that succinctly conveys why you’re a standout candidate for the given position. Employment history: An overview of your most relevant professional experiences, with an emphasis on your key achievements. Education: Provide details about your degree or diploma. Training and certifications: Note any training courses and certifications that are relevant to the job here. Skills: List both hard (technical) skills and soft (interpersonal) skills you offer. But before you get writing, keep in mind that you will need to tailor your resume to the given role you are applying for.

A simple rule of thumb is to stop thinking, “I can build my resume in a way that lets me apply to any position I want,” and start thinking, “I need to build my resume in a way that highlights how suitable I am for the specific position I’m after.”

This simple switch in thinking will help you to address the precise qualities a hiring manager is after. Remember, hiring managers look to your resume to see if you’re an ideal fit for the specific role they’re hiring for. So if your resume is too generic, they’ll simply think, “Next!”

That’s why it’s vital to analyze the advertisement of the role you want for keywords that indicate what the hiring manager is after. Once you identify these keywords, you should integrate any that are relevant to you throughout each of the sections we mentioned above."

How to Get Your Resume Past ATS?

"Putting hours of work into a personalized resume without thinking about an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is a recipe for disaster. These tools are used by 98% of Fortune 500 companies and are increasingly common even in smaller companies. The point is unless you’re 100% certain that the employer you’re applying to doesn’t use an ATS, you need to assume that they do.

What is ATS? At the most basic level, an ATS is a program that uses artificial intelligence (specifically natural language processing) to analyze large numbers of resumes far faster than a human could. They are given a set of criteria to look for and if a resume meets enough of them, it’s forwarded along to a hiring manager for manual review.

For companies, this is a massive time saver. They can do more with fewer hiring managers and hire candidates faster. The problem is that these benefits can act as roadblocks to a jobseeker if applicants don’t understand how to best create a resume to get past an ATS.

Why is it important to get past an ATS? Seventy-five percent of resumes don’t make it past an ATS. This single fact tells you that if you can be in the 25% that do get through to a hiring manager, you’ve vastly increased your chances of getting hired. If an ATS worked perfectly and only resumes meeting the qualifications made it through, this wouldn’t matter, but that’s far from the truth.

This shocking reality is why so many resumes get rejected. Often it’s not because the candidates simply didn’t meet the employer’s criteria, but rather because of an error.

These errors come in a few forms. The first is that the file submitted isn’t a type the ATS can read. But more often, the issue lies with how the data is structured within the file. Charts, columns, images, and all kinds of non-standard formatting can confuse an ATS and lead to them having a hard time understanding the content of your resume. In most cases, this leads to automatic rejection.

What does an ATS look for? This is the key question you need to be asking yourself. Fortunately, you’ve got a pretty good guide at your fingertips - the job description. We mentioned above that you should carefully study the job description and list all of the skills, accomplishments, work experience, etc. that it asks for in a candidate that also aligns with your own profile.

Armed with that list, your mission is to try and ensure as many of those elements are on your resume as possible (without lying of course). One tip is to make sure you try and use the same wording as the job description. After all, an ATS might not realize that what you’ve written means the same thing as what it’s looking for. By using exact wording, you’re making it as likely as possible the ATS will recognize you have the qualities it’s looking for.

How to get your resume past ATS? Ensuring your resume gets past an ATS comes down to combining all of the tips we’ve given in this section into a single plan. Let’s break it down into 3 easy steps.Use the right file format. In almost all cases, ATS tools are designed to read .pdf, .doc, and .docx files. So be sure to use one of these and avoid things like image files.Use a resume builder that has been designed for an ATS. As mentioned, even if you do submit the right file type, it’s possible that the way the data is structured within the file can lead to problems. The best way to avoid this problem is to use a purpose-built resume builder that produces ATS-optimized files.Use a smart keyword strategy. If you identify the skills, work experience, etc. the ATS is looking for and ensure your resume has those elements and uses the same wording as the job description, you’ll be way ahead of the competition."

What is the Best Resume Format?

"If the mission of your resume is to convey information, the order you structure that information matters a lot. Whether you’re talking about a movie or a first date, giving information in the wrong order can create a lot of confusion and bad first impressions. So, you’ll want to choose the right format for your needs. Here’s a breakdown to help you choose:

Chronological This format is the most common and it matches what most hiring managers are looking for. In this case, you prioritize your work experience, beginning with your most recent experience and ending with your oldest experience. Unless you have a specific reason to use another format (for example, you have no work experience), this should be your default choice.

Functional A functional resume format focuses on emphasizing skills and abilities over presenting your work history in order. Often, this will be used by job applicants who are looking to draw attention away from their work history and focus it on their skills, either because they don’t have much work experience or are changing careers and would rather emphasize their transferable skills. However, many recruiters find functional resumes frustrating, meaning they aren’t an ideal choice in most cases.

Combination (AKA Hybrid) In some cases, you may want to combine formats. For example, you may list your work history in reverse-chronological order while also breaking down your skills with a functional section. This allows you to give the hiring manager options for how they want to review your work experience and skills, but it does also take more space.

Generally, combination resumes are the better choice if you have years of experience and want a structured way to equally emphasize both your skills and your history in different positions.

How long should a resume be? The internet is full of advice on resume length. Some experts will say it should always be one page, while others will insist that you should create one page for every 10 years of experience you have.

It’s important to remember that the people reviewing your resume are pressed for time, so you want to communicate the most relevant information as concisely as possible. That said, a hiring manager would generally prefer a 2-page resume of relevant information rather than a shorter page full of irrelevant information."

Additional Tools that can Help You with Resume Creation

"In addition to the examples on this page, there are a few other tools that make creating a resume easier and more efficient. One is a trusted friend or colleague to give you honest feedback. It can be extremely difficult to get outside of your own head and evaluate the resumes you create without bias. That’s why getting an outside perspective is so valuable. A list of useful action verbs can also help you ensure you sound like an active and dynamic candidate.

The next tool you need is a resume builder. With ATS tools so common, you simply can’t afford to take the chance that your resume will get rejected because of some technical issue. Using the right resume builder lets you have confidence you’ll be ready for an ATS.

In addition, a great resume builder should give you access to clean and modern design. In a sea of dull Word docs, a resume that uses design to enhance the content will always stand out. Lastly, you need a resume builder to avoid all the formatting headaches which come with trying to get the columns and alignments just right when creating a resume manually. A great builder makes the whole process of creating multiple personalized resumes for different employers easy, saving you time and hassle.
