By creating a general resume, you can prepare yourself to apply for a wide variety of jobs or save time customizing your resume for a specific application. We’ll show you how to create the perfect general resume and offer helpful examples.
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.

Resume example FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What are employers’ expectations from a resume.
Employers have a few things they look for when evaluating an applicant’s resume. First, they look for a clean and organized structure. As they read the information, they make sure there are no typos or grammatical errors.
They also want to see that the applicant has a good understanding of the role and the company. Resume.io’s resume samples are designed with these criteria in mind. Our professional layouts, combined with expertly written resume samples, can help you create a perfect resume that impresses employers.
Common pitfalls to avoid in resumes
The most common pitfalls to avoid on your resume are poor formatting, spelling and grammar mistakes, a disorganized layout, and a generic resume. Luckily, Resume.io’s resume samples and templates are specifically designed to help you avoid all of these errors.
Once you’ve chosen from our hundreds of unique resume samples, open it inside of our intuitive resume builder, where you can choose a clean layout and use our AI-powered sample sentences and spell check to create a successful resume in minutes.
Do I need a cover letter to match my resume?

You can also shoot us a note to let us know about a job title you’d like to see online. In the meantime, try browsing the categories to see if we currently offer a job title that’s related to yours.
Can you use the same resume example for every application?
While you can start with the same resume example as the base for every application, we highly recommend that you customize it for the job description of the role you are applying to.
This is the best way to ensure you stand out from other applicants and increase your chances of landing the position.
Visual expectations for a resume in 2024
When it comes to what hiring managers expect from the visuals of your resume in 2024, sometimes less is more. Recruiters are most concerned with being able to find the information they are looking for, so we recommend going for a clean, organized template that highlights your most impressive accomplishments.
That being said, if you work in a creative field, you may opt for a flashier resume template to showcase your personality and style.
What are the categories of resume examples?
Our resume examples are divided into broad categories, including education, government, engineering, retail, legal, maintenance and repair, administrative, human resources, real estate, sales, production, accounting & finance, business & management, security & protective services, hospitality & catering, transport & logistics, transportation, medical, information technology, sport & fitness, social work, construction, beauty & wellness, and other.

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 Resumes
How do you write a good resume.
Brainstorm your positive career experiences, then choose the most relevant ones to feature on your resume. Divide your information into distinct sections (like professional experience, education, or key skills), and use each section to show you can excel in your target job. Also write a brief profile summary of your top qualifications. Tailor your resume to each job application, using keywords from the job posting. Your resume should include your contact information, profile, experience, education, and key skills.
How long should a resume be?
For most people, a resume should be between one to three pages long , but it depends on your job goals and experience. Your resume should include relevant information, but not so much that it overwhelms recruiters and hiring managers.
What is the best resume format?
A reverse chronological resume format is widely accepted as the industry standard and is the best resume format for most job seekers. With a reverse chronological format, your most recent and relevant experience is at the top.
How many jobs should you list on a resume?
List all relevant job experience on your resume. A good rule of thumb is to include your three most recent jobs and go back as far as 15 years.

Proven Resume Templates that Land Interviews
What to put on your resume, contact information.
The goal of your contact information is to make it easy for an employer or hiring manager to learn more about you and be able to easily reach out if they are interested in your application.
Target Title
It's crucial to include a Target Title on your resume as a way to help recruiters or hiring manager identify you as a strong candidate. All Job Titles on your resume can be picked up by the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and help show that you are a great fit for the specific role you are applying to.
Professional Summary
The Professional Summary is a key place for you to craft a compelling narrative of your relevant professional experience, skills, and accomplishments. Think of your summary as a teaser for the employer to read the rest of your resume. To maximize impact, aim to reference metrics and numbers where possible to emphasize the results you've delivered in previous roles.
Work Experience
Arguably the most important section on your entire resume, your Work Experience is what employers will ultimately spend the most time reviewing to determine if you're a qualified candidate. Focus on highlighting your most relevant and impactful accomplishments, relative to the specific role you're applying for. Your priority should be to tailor your work experience to align with the responsibilities of the position as much as possible.
Keep your education section clean and relevant by only including the schools / colleges / universities that really matter and relate to your profession and job search goals. Check if the job posting asks for a specific degree and make sure to highlight this in your resume, if applicable.
The skills section of your resume shows employers you have the abilities required for the role you are applying to. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) will leverage the skills in your resume to assess how high of a match score your resume is to the job posting and prioritize higher matching resumes first.

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

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)?

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.

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.

If you simply send a standard resume with basic job information from your previous positions, mentioning some of your qualifications or skills , the likely response will be either a polite thank you but no thank you or you’ll simply not hear back from the employer.

How to Make a Resume in 2024 | Beginner's Guide
For most job-seekers, a good resume is what stands between a dream job and Choice D. Get your resume right, and you’ll be getting replies from every other company you apply to.
If your resume game is weak, though, you’ll end up sitting around for weeks, maybe even months, before you even get a single response.
So you’re probably wondering how you can write a resume that gets you an interview straight up.
Well, you’ve come to the right place!
In this guide, we’re going to teach you everything you need to know about how to make a resume, including:

- 27+ Real-Life Resume Examples for Different Professions
….and more!
So, let’s dive right in.
How to Make a Resume (The Right Way!)
Before we go into detail about how you should make a resume, here’s a summary of the most important steps and tips to keep in mind:
- Choose a resume format carefully. In 99% of cases, we recommend the reverse-chronological format .
- Add the right contact details. Leave your headshot out and make sure to include your job title , a professional email address, and any relevant links. (E.g.: your LinkedIn profile , online portfolio, personal website, etc.).
- Write an impactful resume summary. Unless you’re an entry-level professional, always go for a resume summary. If you do it right, it’s your chance to get the hiring manager to go through the rest of your resume in detail.
- Pay attention to your work experience section. Take your work experience section from OK-ish to exceptional by tailoring it to the job ad, making your achievements quantifiable, and using action verbs and power words.
- Add the right skills for the job. Keep this section relevant by only including the hard and soft skills that are required for the position.
- Keep your education short and to the point. Your most recent and highest degree is more than enough for a strong education section. You only need to add more details here if you’re a recent graduate with barely any work experience.
- Leverage optional resume sections. Optional sections like languages, hobbies, certifications, independent projects, and others can set you apart from other candidates with similar skills and experience.
- Include a cover letter. That’s right, cover letters matter in 2024, and the best way to supplement your resume is by adding an equally well-crafted cover letter to your job application. To make the most of it, check out our detailed guide on how to write a cover letter .

#1. Pick the Right Resume Format
Before you start filling in the contents of your resume, you have to make sure it’s going to look good.
After all, the first thing hiring managers notice is what your resume looks like, and then they start reading it. So, this is your best chance to make a great first impression.
Start by choosing the right resume format.
There are three types of resume formats out there:
- Reverse-chronological. This is by far the most popular resume format worldwide and, as such, it’s the best format for most job-seekers.
- Functional. This resume format focuses more on skills than work experience. It’s a good choice if you’re just getting started with your career and have little to no experience in the field.
- Combination. The combination resume format is a great choice for experienced job-seekers with a very diverse skill set. It’s useful if you’re applying for a role that requires expertise in several different fields and you want to show all that in your resume.
So, which one should you go for?
In 99% of cases, you want to stick to the reverse-chronological resume format . It’s the most popular format and what hiring managers expect to see. So, in the rest of this guide, we’re going to focus on teaching you how to make a reverse-chronological resume.
Fix Your Resume’s Layout
With formatting out of the way, let’s talk about your resume’s layout , which determines the overall look of your resume.
Does it look organized or cluttered? Is it too short or too long? Is it boring and easy to ignore, or is it reader-friendly and attention-grabbing?
Here are some of the best practices you should apply:
- Stick to one page. You should only go for a two-page resume if you have decades of experience and you’re sure the extra space will add significant value. Hiring managers in big companies get hundreds of applications per job opening. They’re not going to spend their valuable time reading your life story!
- Add clear section headings. Pick a heading and use it for all the section headers so the hiring manager can easily navigate through your resume.
- Adjust the margins. Without the right amount of white space, your resume will end up looking overcrowded with information. Set your margins to one inch on all sides so your text fits just right on the page.
- Choose a professional font. We’d recommend sticking to a font that’s professional but not overused. For example, Ubuntu, Roboto, or Overpass. Avoid Times New Roman, and never use Comic Sans.
- Set the correct font size. As a rule of thumb, go for 11-12 pt for normal text and 14-16 pt for section titles.
- Use a PDF file. Always save your resume as a PDF file, unless the employer specifically requests otherwise. Word files are popular, but there’s a good chance they’ll mess up your resume’s formatting.
Another thing you need to consider in terms of your resume’s layout is whether you’re going for a traditional-looking resume template or something a bit more modern :
If you’re pursuing a career in a more traditional industry, like law , banking , or finance , you might want to stick to the first.
But if you’re applying to a tech company where imagination and innovation are valued, you can pick a more creative resume template .
Want to Save Time? Use a (Free) Resume Template
Anyone who’s ever tried creating a resume from scratch knows how boring the formatting can be.
Before you can even start filling in the contents, you need to tweak the margins, adjust font sizes, and make sure everything fits into one page while still looking good.
What if you could skip past all that and still create a compelling resume?
Try one of our free resume templates . They’re pre-formatted, so all you have to do is fill in the contents.
They’re also created in collaboration with recruiters from around the globe, ensuring that the templates are visually appealing and ATS-friendly!
See for yourself how one of our templates compares to a resume created in a standard text editor:
#2. Add Your Contact Information
Now that we’ve got all the formatting out of the way, let’s get into what your resume is all about— the information you put on it .
The first thing you want to do when filling out the contents of your resume is to add your contact information .
This section is pretty straightforward but crucial. Your contact details belong at the top of your resume in a designated resume header , so the hiring manager can easily find them.
Even if everything else about your resume is perfect, that all flops if you misspell your email address or have a typo in your phone number. If the hiring manager can’t contact you, it’s a missed opportunity.
So, double-check, and even triple-check your contact information section and make sure everything is factually correct and up-to-date.
Must-Have Information
- Full name. Your first and last name should stand out at the top of your resume.
- Email address. Stick to an address that’s professional and easy to spell, like a combination of your first and last name. (E.g.: [email protected])
- Phone number. Add a reliable number where the hiring manager can easily reach you.
- Location. Add your city and state/country. If you plan to relocate for the job or want a remote position, specify it on your resume.
Optional Information
- Job title. Add your professional title underneath. Write it down word for word, whether it’s “Digital Marketing Specialist” or “Junior Data Scientist.” Just don’t make up job titles like “Marketing Wizzard” or “Data Manipulator.” They’re not quirky; they’re just unprofessional.
- LinkedIn profile . We recommend that you include a link to your updated LinkedIn profile since over 77% of hiring managers use the platform when evaluating a candidate.
- Relevant links. Include links to personal websites or any social media profiles that are relevant to your field. For example, a developer could include a Github profile, while a graphic designer could link their Behance or Driblle account, and so on.
- Date of birth. Unless this is specifically required in the job ad, the hiring manager doesn’t need to know how old you are. It’s not important for their decision-making, and at worst, it might lead to age-based discrimination.
- Unprofessional email address. Your quirky, old high school email address doesn’t belong on your resume. Instead of [email protected] , go for a [email protected] type of address.
- Headshot. (USA, UK or Ireland) Depending on the country where you’re applying, it might even be illegal to include a picture of yourself on your resume . While it’s the norm to include a picture in most of Europe and Asia, always check the regulations for each specific country or industry you’re applying to.
All clear? Good! Now, let’s look at what a great example of a resume's contact information section looks like:
#3. Write a Resume Headline (Summary or Objective)
It's no secret that recruiters spend an average of less than seven seconds on a resume .
When you receive hundreds, if not thousands, of applications daily, it's physically impossible to spend too much time on each.
So, what the hiring managers do to go through resumes more effectively is to skim through each resume and read it in depth only if it piques their interest.
This is where the resume headline comes in.
Placed right next to (or underneath) your contact information, this brief paragraph is the first thing the hiring manager is going to read on your resume.
Now, depending on how far along in your career you are, your resume headline can be either a resume summary or a resume objective.
So, how do you choose between a resume summary and a resume objective? Here’s all you need to know:
Resume Summary
A resume summary, as the name suggests, is a two to three-sentence summary of your career so far. If done right, it shows that you’re a qualified candidate at a glance and gets the hiring manager to give you a chance.
Here’s what your resume summary should include:
- Your job title and years of experience.
- A couple of your greatest professional achievements or core responsibilities.
- Your most relevant skills for the job.
Here’s an example of a well-written resume summary:
Experienced Java Developer with 5 years of experience in building scalable and efficient applications. Contributed to a major project that enhanced application performance by 25%. Strong background in Spring Framework and microservices. Aiming to apply robust coding skills to develop innovative software solutions at XYZ Tech Solutions.
Unless you’re a recent graduate or amid a career change, we recommend you stick to a resume summary. Otherwise, a resume objective might be a better option for you.
Resume Objective
A resume objective is supposed to express your professional goals and aspirations, academic background, and any relevant skills you may have for the job.
It communicates your motivation for getting into a new field, so it’s the go-to headline for recent graduates and those going through a career change. As with a resume summary, a resume objective should be brief—around two to four sentences long.
So, here’s what it would look like if you’re a student:
Hard-working recent graduate with a B.A. in Graphic Design from New York State University seeking new opportunities. 3+ years of practical experience working with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, creating illustrations and UX/UI design projects. Looking to grow as a designer and perfect my art at XYZ Design Studio.
Or, on the other hand, if you’re going through a career change, it might look more like this:
IT project manager with 5+ years of experience in software development. Managed a team of developers to create products for several industries, such as FinTech and HR tech. Looking to leverage my experience in managing outsourced products as a Product Owner at Company XYZ.
#4. Prioritize Your Work Experience
The most important part of your resume is your work experience.
This is where you get to sell yourself and show off your previous accomplishments and responsibilities.
If you manage to master this section, you’ll know most of what’s there to know about how to make a resume.
There are plenty of good practices for writing your work experience . But before we dive into all the nits and grits, let's start with the basics.
The standard format for each work experience entry is as follows:
- Job title/position. Your job title goes on top of each work experience entry. When the hiring manager looks at your resume, you want them to know, at a glance, that you have relevant work experience for the job.
- Company name/location/description. Mention the name of the employer and the general location, such as the city and state/country where you worked. In some cases, you may also want to briefly describe the company, like when the organization isn’t particularly well-known.
- Dates employed. Add the approximate timeframe of your employment at each company. You don’t need to give exact dates since the standard format for this is mm/yyyy.
- Achievements and responsibilities. This is the core of each work experience entry. Depending on your field, you want to list either your achievements or responsibilities. List them in bullet points instead of paragraphs, so they’ll be easier to read.
Here’s a real-life example:
Your work experience entries should always be listed in reverse chronological order , starting with your most recent job and working your way back into the past.
Now that you know how to list your experience, we’re going to show you how to write about it in a way that makes you stand out from the competition, starting with:
Are you a student with no work experience? We’ve got you covered. Check out our guide to writing a resume with no experience here.
Focus on Achievements Whenever Possible
One of the most common resume mistakes is only listing responsibilities in your work experience section.
Here’s the thing—in most cases, the hiring manager knows exactly what your job responsibilities are.
For example, if you’re a sales manager, your responsibilities would be:
- Reach out to potential clients over the phone or email.
- Maintain relationships with existing company clients and upsell relevant products.
- Tracking and reporting on leads in CRM.
Coincidentally, this is also the same list of responsibilities for every sales manager out there. So, 90% of all other resumes probably mention the same thing.
To stand out from the competition, you want to focus on writing achievements in your resume instead. These can be how you helped your previous company grow, reach quarterly quotas, and so on.
Let’s compare how responsibilities hold up next to achievements for the same job:
- Exceeded sales team KPIs by 30%+ for 3 months straight.
- Generated over $24,000 in sales in 1 month.
- Generated leads through cold-calling
- Managed existing company clients
Keep in mind, though, that in some fields, there just aren’t that many achievements you can mention. Let’s say you’re a warehouse worker .
Your day-to-day responsibilities probably include:
- Loading, unloading, and setting up equipment daily.
- Packaging finished products and getting them ready for shipping.
- Assisting in opening and closing the warehouse.
In fields like this, it’s pretty hard to distinguish yourself through achievements, so it’s okay to stick to responsibilities instead. You can still make them shine by following the rest of our advice about listing your work experience.
Keep in mind, though, that in some fields, there aren’t that many achievements you can mention. Let’s say you work in a warehouse. Your day-to-day responsibilities probably involve:
- Loading, unloading and setting up equipment on a daily basis.
- Package finished product and get it ready for shipping.
- Assist in opening and closing the warehouse.
In such fields, it’s pretty hard to distinguish yourself, so it’s totally OK to stick to responsibilities instead.
Tailor Your Resume to the Job
Tailoring is what sets an amazing resume apart from an okay one.
Hiring managers don’t need to know about every single job you’ve ever worked at or every single skill that you have.
They only want to know about your jobs, experiences, or skills that are relevant to the role you’re applying for.
For example, if you’re applying for a job doing Google Ads, you don’t need to talk about your SEO internship from eight years ago.
By focusing your resume on whatever is important for the specific role, you’re a lot more likely to stand out and catch the hiring manager’s attention.
Let’s take a look at an example of a job ad:
As you can see, we’ve highlighted the most important requirements.
To tailor your resume accordingly, you just need to mention how you meet each of these requirements in your resume.
You can highlight your relevant achievements and qualifications in different parts of your resume, such as:
- In your resume summary, where you should recap your years of experience.
- Throughout your work experience section, where you should list achievements and responsibilities that reflect your social media marketing experience.
- In your education section, where you can let the hiring manager know you have the degree that they’re looking for.
Include the Right Amount of Work Experience
If you’ve got over a decade’s worth of work experience, you’re probably wondering whether all of it belongs on your resume. In most cases, you’d end up writing a novel if you listed everything you’ve ever done, and that’s not how long a resume should be .
If you’re new to the job market, on the other hand, you probably don’t have any experience, and you’re wondering what you could even add to this section.
So, here’s how much information your resume should include, depending on your level of experience:
- No experience. If you’re looking for your first job , you won’t have any work experience to fill this section with. So, you can either keep it empty and focus on all the other sections or fill it up with any experience gained in student organizations, extracurricular activities, volunteering, and other projects.
- Entry-level. List all your work experience so far. While some of it won’t be relevant, it can still show the hiring manager that you do have some actual work experience.
- Mid-level. Only mention relevant work experience to the position you’re applying for. There’s no need to waste space on jobs that aren’t related to what you’re after.
- Senior-level. List up to 15 years of relevant work experience, tops. If your most recent experience is as a marketing executive , the hiring manager doesn’t care how you started your career as a junior marketing specialist 23 years ago.
Consider Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Software
Did you know that over 70% of resumes don’t even make it to the hiring manager ?
Most companies these days use ATS to evaluate hundreds of resumes instantaneously and automatically filter out the ones that don’t meet their criteria.
For example, if a resume doesn’t mention a specific skill or isn’t formatted correctly, the ATS will automatically reject it.
Fortunately, there are some easy ways to make an ATS-friendly resume .
Here are a couple of tips to help you get past those pesky robots:
- Stick to one page. Sometimes employers set a limit on how long a resume should be. This means that if your resume is longer than one page, it might get automatically disqualified.
- Incorporate keywords. Tailoring your resume to the job helps a ton with beating the ATS. Just carefully read the job description to find hints for what the ATS will be looking for. Then, whenever you find keywords related to your responsibilities and achievements, make sure to include them in your work experience section.
- Use an active voice. Passive voice is too vague and unclear, so make sure to use active voice as much as possible when describing your previous jobs. (E.g.: “Managed a team of ten people,” instead of “ A team of ten people was managed by me.” )
- Leverage powerful action words. Instead of starting each of your sentences with “was responsible for," make your work experience impactful by using words that can grab attention. Saying that you “spearheaded” or “facilitated” something sounds a lot more impressive than “helped.”

#5. List Your Education
The next section on your resume is dedicated to your academic qualifications. Let’s start with the basics!
Here’s how you should format the education section on your resume :
- Program Name. Your major and degree type should be listed. (E.g.: “B.A. in Business Administration” )
- University Name. Add the name of the institution. (E.g.: “New York State University” )
- Dates Attended. Use a mm/yyyy format for the dates you attended. (E.g.: “08/2008 - 06/2012” )
- Location. If your university is less well-known, you can also add the location. (E.g.: “Stockholm, Sweden” )
- GPA. Use the appropriate grading system for the country you’re applying to work in. (E.g.: In the USA, it would be “3.9 GPA” )
- Honors. Add any honors and distinctions you’ve been given. (E.g.: Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude )
- Achievements. You can mention interesting papers you’ve written, projects you’ve done, or relevant coursework you’ve excelled in.
- Minor. “Minor in Psychology”
Pretty simple, right? Now let’s see what an education section looks like in practice:
This example includes all the necessary information, plus an eye-catching award and relevant classes this candidate has taken.
Resume Education Tips
Now that you know how to list your education on your resume, let’s take this section to the next level.
Just follow these expert tips:
- If you’re making a resume as a student and don’t have any work experience yet, you can list your education section at the beginning of the page instead of work experience.
- You can add your expected graduation date if you’re still pursuing your degree.
- If you already have relevant work experience, just keep this section short and sweet. Recent graduates can expand on their education more and add optional information like projects, classes, academic achievements, etc.
- Always list your degrees in reverse chronological order, starting with your highest degree on top. Your highest and most recent degree is usually enough, so if you have a Master’s degree that’s relevant to the job, there’s no need to mention your earlier degrees.
- Don’t add your high school degree to your resume if you already have a university degree. It doesn’t have as much weight, and you can use the space for something else.
- Only mention your GPA if you had an impressive academic career. Anything below a 3.5 GPA doesn’t need to be on your resume.

#6. Emphasize Your Know-How in the Skills Section
After your work experience, your skills are the first thing the hiring manager is going to look for. In fact, together, work experience and skills make up 90% of the hiring decision .
So, this is the place where you want to mention all the know-how that makes you the perfect candidate for the job.
There are two types of skills you can include when writing your resume:
- Hard Skills. These are measurable abilities. What you can list here can be anything from coding in Python to knowing how to cook Thai cuisine.
- Soft Skills. Also known as personal skills, these are a mix of communication skills , personal traits, career attributes, and more. They can include leadership, critical thinking, and time management , just to name a few.
Your resume should always cover both hard skills and soft skills . Here’s an example in action:
Now, let’s discuss how you should list your most important skills on your resume.
There are a few essential steps you need to follow:
Always List Hard and Soft Skills Separately
Your resume should be easy and neat to navigate. The hiring manager shouldn’t have to waste time looking for a specific skill because you didn’t separate it into the appropriate subsection.
So, just create separate categories for your hard and soft skills.
Depending on your field, you could customize the name of your “hard skills” subsection to something like “technical skills," “marketing skills," or something else related to your field.
Let’s look at an example of what skills look like on a project manager’s resume :
Methodologies & Tools
- Agile Methodology
- SCRUM Framework
- Waterfall Project Management
- Microsoft Project
- Critical Path Method (CPM)
- Earned Value Management (EVM)
- Risk Management
Soft Skills
- Team Management
- Conflict Resolution
- Negotiation
Tailor Your Skills to the Job
You might have some awesome skills, but the hiring manager only needs to know about the ones that are relevant to the job.
For example, if you’re applying for a job as an accountant, your gourmet chef skills shouldn’t be on your resume.
Look at the job ad and list at least two to three essential skills you have that are required for the role. Remember—there’s no need to list every skill you have here; just keep it relevant.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Graphic Design or a related field.
- Tech-savvy, with some background in CMS systems such as WordPress.
- Thrives in a stressful environment and juggles multiple tasks and deadlines.
- Strong organizational and time management skills.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Self-reliant, with the ability to manage their own work.
- A can-do attitude and an outside-the-box thinker.
- Proficient in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Keynote, and Pages.
- Basic understanding of Office software such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
So, the must-have hard skills here are Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Keynote, and Pages. Other good computer skills to have are WordPress or similar CMS systems.
While you can also mention Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, it’s pretty much assumed that you know how to use them since they’re required for most office jobs.
List Hard Skills with Experience Levels
For each hard skill you list on your resume, you should also mention your proficiency level. This tells employers what they can expect from you and how much training you might need.
- Beginner. You have some experience with the skill, whether it’s from some entry-level practice or classroom education.
- Intermediate. You’ve used the skill in a work environment with good understanding.
- Advanced. You’re the go-to person for this skill in your office. You can coach other employees, and you understand the skill at a high level.
- Expert. You’ve applied this skill to more than a handful of different projects and organizations. You’re the go-to person for advice about the skill, not just in your office but even amongst some of the best professionals in your field.
Just make sure to never lie about your actual skill level. Even if you get the job, once you need those skills you exaggerated, it will be pretty awkward for both you and your employer.
Include Transferable Skills
These are the types of skills that are useful for almost any job out there.
Transferable skills can be both soft skills (e.g.: teamwork, creativity, problem-solving skills, and others) and hard skills (MS Office Suite, HTML, writing, etc.)
Whatever job you’re applying to, chances are you have transferable skills from your experience that can come in handy one way or another. So, feel free to include them, even if they’re not specifically required for the position.

#7. Leverage Optional Resume Sections
The sections we’ve covered so far are must-haves for any resume. They’re the bread-and-butter for any job application, and if you get them right, you’ll land any job you apply to.
But if you have some leftover space, there are a few optional sections you can choose from to give your resume a boost!
Are you bi-lingual? Or even better – multi-lingual? You should always mention that on your resume!
Even if the position doesn’t require you to know a specific language, it can still come in handy at some point. At the end of the day, it’s always better to know more languages than less.
To list languages in your resume , just write them down and assign them the appropriate level:
- Intermediate
You can also use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL) or the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) proficiency scales.
As a given, you should never lie about your language skills. You never know—your interviewer might turn out to be fluent in the language or even be a native speaker!
Hobbies and Interests
If you want to spice up your resume, hobbies and interests could be just what you need.
While this section isn’t a game-changer, it can help the hiring manager see who you are as an individual.
For example, if you listed “teamwork” as one of your skills, hobbies like team sports can back up your claim.
And who knows? Maybe you and your interviewer have some hobbies or interests in common!
Volunteering Experience
If you’re the type of person who devotes their free time to helping others while expecting nothing in return, chances are that you’re the type of employee who’s in it for more than just the money.
Seeing volunteer experience on your resume tells hiring managers that you’re a loyal employee who’s after something meaningful.
Several studies show that listing your volunteer experience can boost your chances of getting hired, especially if you have little to no work experience.
Certifications
Hiring managers love candidates who invest in themselves, and that’s exactly what they see when you list certifications on your resume .
If you value continuous learning and strive to expand your skill set, that’s always a plus.
Certifications can also show employers how much expertise you have.
For example, if you’re a Microsoft Cloud Engineer and you specialize in Microsoft Technologies, you should definitely include all essential certifications on your resume, such as the Azure Solutions Architect Expert one.
Awards and Recognitions
There’s no harm in showing off a little on your resume. After all, you want to be a candidate that shines above the rest.
So, if you’ve received any awards or recognitions that make you stand out in your field, make sure to add them.
For example, if you’ve been recognized for your contributions to data science or received a hard-to-come-by scholarship , mention it in your resume. Just keep your entries here relevant to the field you’re applying to.
Publications
Whether you’re a freelance writer or a distinguished academic, publications are always impressive.
If you have any published works (online or in an academic journal), you can add them to your resume. Just make sure to include a link so the hiring manager knows where to check your work!
Are you looking for a career in academia? Check out our guide to writing the perfect academic CV to get started!
Working on side projects can show off your passion for your field. Whether they’re university class projects or part-time entrepreneurial endeavors, they’re relevant.
For example, if you worked on a mock software product as part of a university competition, it shows you went through every step of product creation, from ideation to creating a marketing strategy.
This project also shows off your organizational skills , and if you mention it in your resume, you stand a better chance of landing the job you had your sights set on.
But projects can also be personal, not academic. For example, you might manage an Etsy store where you sell hand-made arts and crafts to customers online. This is a great opportunity to highlight your creativity, management, and customer service skills .
Overall, hiring managers love employees who do cool work in their free time, so projects are always a great section to add to your resume.

Extracurricular Activities
Every college freshman knows that extracurricular experience can make a difference in their application.
Especially if you don’t have a lot of experience outside of school, extracurricular activities are a great way to show potential employers your skills and give them insight into you as a person. Different clubs and after-school projects can help you gain real-life skills and considerably increase your chances of landing your first job after college.
For example, joining a student government organization can hone your leadership skills and teach you how to work as part of a team.
For example, if you’re part of a student government or public speaking club, these activities can help you hone your leadership and presentation skills.
11+ Expert Resume Tips
You’ve got the gist of how to make a resume. Now, it’s time to make it really stand out from the crowd!
Follow these exclusive resume tips to take your resume game to the next level:
- Match the professional title underneath your name to the job title of the position you’re applying for. Hiring managers often hire for several roles at once, so giving them this cue about what role you’re after helps things go smoother.
- Mention any promotions from your previous jobs. Use the work experience entries for them to focus on the achievements that helped you earn them.
- Describe your achievements using Laszlo Bock’s formula : accomplished X as measured by Y by doing Z . This way, your work experience can go the extra mile and show the hiring manager what you can bring to the table.
- Always list your achievements and responsibilities in concise bullet points. This makes your resume more reader-friendly, and it’s more likely that the hiring manager will see your impressive achievements at a glance.
- Don’t use personal pronouns like “I” or “me,” and don’t refer to yourself by name. Stick to a slightly altered third person, like “managed data integrity at XYZ Inc.” instead of “he managed data integrity at XYZ Inc.”
- Name your resume sections correctly, or it might get rejected by the ATS. Swapping out quirky names like “career history” or “expertise” for “work experience” and "skills" makes it easier for the hiring manager to find what they’re looking for, too.
- Prioritize important keywords instead of adding all of them. Make sure the relevant skills, qualifications, and experiences you add all make sense in context, too. Your goal is to get past the ATS and impress the hiring manager.
- Focus on transferable skills if you don’t have a lot of relevant work experience. Any extracurricular activities or personal projects can help you stand out here.
- Add a strategic pop of color to headings, bullet points, or key elements you want to highlight. It can help your resume stand out, but don’t overdo it—you want the information to be more impressive than the color palette.
- Don’t include the line “references available upon request.” Hiring managers already know they can request a list of references from you, so there’s no need to waste valuable space on it.
- Make sure your resume is optimized for mobile viewing. Most hiring managers use their mobile phones as often as desktop computers, so save your resume to a PDF file and make sure your formatting stays intact across any device.
- Rename the resume file you plan to send so it includes your name and the name of the position you’re applying for. It’s a small detail that can turn into a crucial mistake if you forget it.
- Read your resume out loud when you’re done. This is a great way to catch awkward phrases or spelling mistakes you might have missed otherwise.
- Use a tool like DocSend to track your resume. You’ll get a notification any time someone opens your resume, and you can see how long they spend reading it.

Next Steps After Your Resume
Now that we’ve covered everything you need to know about how to make a resume, it’s time to talk about the rest of your job application.
After all, your resume is only the first step in your job search. To land the job you deserve, you also need to write a captivating cover letter and ace that upcoming interview. Here’s how:
#1. How to Write a Convincing Cover Letter
The companion piece to every resume is the cover letter.
Most job-seekers flinch when they hear that they have to write a cover letter. What do you even mention in a cover letter, anyway? If you were good at writing cover letters, you’d be applying for a job as a writer !
In reality, though, writing a cover letter is very simple once you know its purpose.
Think of your cover letter as a direct message to the hiring manager. It’s your chance to briefly explain why you’re such an awesome fit for the position. And with a few cover letter tips to point you in the right direction, you’ll write the perfect cover letter for your job application.
Just follow this structure:
- Add the contact details. Include the same contact information as on your resume, plus additional contact details for the hiring manager, including their name, job title, the company’s name, and location.
- Introduce yourself. Start your cover letter by mentioning who you are, what your work experience is, and why you’re interested in the position. Mention a standout achievement or two, relevant skills, and what you’d like to do for the company you’re applying for.
- Explain why you’d excel at the job. Find the requirements in the job ad that you meet, and elaborate on how you fulfill the most important ones. Research the company so you know what you like about it, and mention it in your cover letter. Make sure to convey your enthusiasm for the job and confidence that you’ll be a great fit for their team.
- Wrap it up politely. Conclude your cover letter by recapping your key selling points and thanking the hiring manager for their time. Then add a call to action, such as “Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at the provided phone number so that we can discuss my application in greater detail.” Then, add a closing line and follow it with your full name.
Sounds easy, right? Here’s a real-life example to drive the point home:

#2. How to Ace Your Next Interview
Once you’ve perfected both your resume and cover letter, there’s only one thing left.
It’s time for the final step—the dreaded job interview.
Whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert, you probably hate the interviewing process. No matter how experienced you are, it can be nerve-wracking. Sitting there while someone’s prodding into your past experiences and judging you isn’t fun.
But did you know that most interviewers ask the same questions?
That’s right—all you have to do is learn how to answer some of the most common interview questions, and you’ll be an interview away from landing your dream job!
Just check out our complete guide to the 35+ Job Interview Questions and Answers and learn how to ace your next interview.
FAQs on How to Make a Resume
Do you still have some questions about making a resume? Check out the answers to the most frequently asked questions below!
#1. What does a good resume look like in 2024?
For your resume to look good in 2024, make sure it’s organized and clean and isn’t longer than one page.
Be sure to include information that adds value to your application—leave out the focus on your relevant work experience and skills that you can back up, and list as many achievements as possible.
If you’re using a resume template, choose one based on your industry. Conservative industries like law, banking, and business require more traditional resume templates. But if you’re going for an industry like design, architecture, or marketing, you can go for a creative resume template .
Remote work is also big in 2024, so if that’s what you’re after, tailor your resume to match the job you want.
#2. How do you make a resume in Word?
The best way to create a resume in Word is to use a pre-designed Microsoft Word template. To access them, you should:
- Open MS Word
- Click “file” from the menu bar
- Select “new”
- Type “resume templates” in the search bar
That said, Word resume templates are generic, hard to personalize, and overall not very stylish.

#3. How do I write a resume for my first job?
If you’re writing your first-ever resume for an entry-level position, the hiring manager won’t expect you to have any work experience.
However, you can make up for your lack of experience with your skills and academic achievements.
For example, you can take advantage of extracurricular activities, internships, volunteering experiences, and other non-professional experiences. You can use them to highlight the skills you’ve gained and what you’ve achieved so far.
So, your first job resume should have a resume objective, emphasize your education, and replace your work experience with any internships, volunteering, independent projects, or other experiences.
#4. How to make a resume on Google Docs?
You can make a resume on Google Docs by choosing one of their templates and filling it in on the go.
All you have to do is go to your Google Drive’s template gallery, choose your preferred template, fill in your information, and your Google Docs resume is ready to go!
That said, Google Docs templates aren’t the most user-friendly choice. You don’t have much flexibility with the layout and formatting isn’t that easy. For example, you tweak a section to the slightest, and the whole resume becomes a mess.
If you want an easier option, check out our resume builder !
#5. What kind of resume do employers prefer?
Typically, employers prefer one-page-long resumes that follow the reverse chronological format.
Hiring managers receive hundreds of resumes every day, so they don't have the time to read three-page resumes. Try one of our one-page resume templates so you don’t go over the recommended resume length.
Meanwhile, the reverse-chronological format is the most popular because it draws attention to your most recent jobs and professional achievements, which is the #1 most important thing hiring managers look at when evaluating a resume.
#6. How many jobs should you put on your resume?
You should only include relevant job positions on your resume.
This means that your work experience section should be tailored to the job you are applying for. If you’ve worked five different jobs and they can all add value to your current application, then you should include all five.
If, on the other hand, you’re applying for, say, a customer service position and some of your past jobs don’t have anything to do with customer service, you should skip them.
#7. Should I put my address on my resume?
You can put your location (city, state, or country) on your resume, but you don’t need to put your entire physical address.
Putting a physical address on a resume was the norm back when companies would contact you via mail. In today’s world, everyone communicates via email, which is why adding a correct and professional email address to your contact information section is far more important than putting your physical address.
So, just include your location or-–if you’re a remote worker—specify you prefer to work remotely by writing “working remotely from [location].”
#8. What information should I leave out of my resume?
As a general rule, you shouldn’t include your birthday or your headshot on your resume. This norm varies from country to country but it applies to the USA, Canada, and UK.
If you have plenty of achievements to list under your work experience, then you can leave your basic work responsibilities out of your resume.
In your education section, you should only include your highest and most recent degree. So, if you hold a Ph.D., you can list that and your Master’s degree and leave your Bachelor’s degree and high school diploma out.
Finally, leave out any skills that aren’t relevant to the job you’re applying for.
#9. Is a resume a CV?
Depending on where you are, a CV (Curriculum Vitae) and a resume might be completely different things.
In most of the world, though, including Europe and Asia, they are used interchangeably for the same document. Both CVs and resumes are one to two pages long, and list skills and experiences relevant to the position you’re applying for.
Sometimes more detailed resumes that go over one page are referred to as CVs. These are typically only used by senior professionals, executives, CEOs, etc.
In the USA, however, a CV is a completely different document. Typically, CVs are detailed and comprehensive documents that highlight your entire academic and professional history. They’re often used for academic, scientific, or research positions, which is why this type of CV can also be referred to as an academic CV.
You can create your CV using one of our CV templates !
#10. Should I write my own resume?
Yes, you should always write your own resume.
Your resume is your opportunity to show the hiring manager your communication, writing, and presentation skills . Employers also evaluate you based on how effectively you can convey information about yourself, and there’s no one that can represent you better than yourself.
Writing your own resume lets you introduce yourself authentically. You have the best understanding of your skills and experiences, and you can personalize them to make your resume stand out.
And, as a bonus, the experience of writing your resume yourself can be reflective and insightful, so it might help you understand your professional journey and career goals better.
#11. Can a resume be two pages?
Generally, we strongly recommend that your resume stick to one page.
Hiring managers go through hundreds of resumes every day, and keeping your resume to one page increases the odds that they’ll see your qualifications faster.
In some cases, like when you have a lot of relevant experience, your resume can go over two pages. But this exception is reserved for senior professionals with over a decade of relevant experience and tons of skills and achievements that simply can’t fit on one page.
#12. Is a simple resume okay?
Absolutely, a simple resume is often more than okay—it's preferable.
Before your resume even gets to the hiring manager, a complicated layout could get it rejected by the applicant tracking system (ATS). A simple resume template can help get your application straight to the hiring manager.
A clean layout can also make sure that your resume is easily readable and looks professional. This can focus the hiring manager's attention on your work experience and skills without excessive clutter or flashy colors to distract them.
Key Takeaways
And that’s a wrap!
If you’ve followed all of our advice until now, congrats! You’re probably an expert on how to make a resume.
To recap, let’s go through some of the most important lessons we’ve learned so far...
- Use the right resume builder to make the process as smooth as possible. You don’t want to mess around with formatting for hours before even starting to work on your resume!
- Focus on your achievements over responsibilities. This can help you stand out from all the other applicants, especially if you back your claims up with data.
- Include all the must-have sections, like the resume summary, work experience, education, and skills. Then leverage optional sections if you have leftover space.
- Tailor your resume for the job you’re applying for. Everything listed on your resume should be relevant to the specific job you’re applying for, and you should write a new resume for every new job application.
- Take the time to perfect your cover letter. It’s just as important as your resume, so make sure you pay as much attention to it!
