The exact text an ATS parser would extract from your resume, in reading order — not a design mockup. If your name or key sections don't appear near the top in a sensible order, your layout may confuse some parsers.

Tips

Use your professional name — the one that appears on your LinkedIn and professional correspondence.
Include a clear, specific role title rather than generic terms. For example, “Data Analyst” is better than “IT Professional”.
Use a professional email address ([email protected]). Avoid casual or humorous email handles.
Include your city and country rather than a full street address — recruiters only need your general location.
Add your LinkedIn URL as a shortened, customized link (linkedin.com/in/yourname).
Phone number should include the country code if you are applying internationally.

Do’s and Don’ts

Do:

Use a professional email address
Customize your LinkedIn URL
Keep contact info current and accurate

Keep it to 2–4 sentences. This is your elevator pitch, not your biography.

Mention 1–2 key achievements with quantifiable results.
Tailor it to the specific role you are applying for.
Use the present tense for your current state and past tense for accomplishments.
Avoid first-person pronouns (“I”, “me”, “my”). Write in implied first person.

Quantify results wherever possible: numbers, percentages, dollar amounts, team sizes.
Use the formula: Action Verb + Task + Result. For example: “Reduced delivery time by 30% by implementing Agile sprint cycles.”
Include 3–5 bullet points per role. Prioritize your most impactful contributions.
Use past tense for previous roles and present tense for your current role.
Tailor bullet points to match the job description you are applying for.

Include a mix of hard skills (technical) and soft skills (interpersonal).
Prioritize skills mentioned in the job description.

List 8–12 skills for optimal impact. Too few looks sparse; too many dilutes the focus.

Describe the project goal, your role, technologies used, and the outcome.
Quantify the impact where possible: users served, performance improved, revenue generated.
Include links to live projects, GitHub repos, or case studies when available.
For students or career changers, projects can compensate for limited work experience.

Tips

List certifications relevant to the target role first.
Include the full certification name, issuing organization, and year obtained.
If the certification has an expiry date, include it so employers know it is current.

In-progress certifications can be listed as “Expected [month/year]”.

Example

PMP — Project Management Professional, PMI, 2021 (Expires 2024)
Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Scrum Alliance, 2020

Tips

Use standard proficiency levels: Native, Fluent, Intermediate, Basic.
List your strongest language first.
Only include languages where you have at least a basic professional proficiency.
If a language is specifically mentioned in the job description, make sure to include it prominently.

Tips

Include interests that showcase relevant qualities: leadership (team sports), creativity (writing, design), or continuous learning (reading, online courses).
Keep the list to 3–5 interests. This section is optional and should be brief.
Avoid generic interests like “music” or “movies.” Be specific: “jazz guitar” or “documentary filmmaking.”
Interests can be great conversation starters in interviews. Choose ones you can discuss confidently.

Tips

Include 2–3 professional references: former managers, colleagues, or clients.
Always ask permission before listing someone as a reference.
Include the reference’s name, title, company, and contact information.
Choose references who can speak to your skills relevant to the target role.
If space is limited, you can write “References available upon request” instead.
