What's the best resume layout?
According to eye-tracking studies , recruiters spend on resumes like these around 6 seconds.
On average day recruiters scan and filter through dozens and hundreds of generic resumes.
Until they stumble upon a resume layout like this:
The combination of formatting, clever white space usage, and section order encourages recruiters to study critical parts of your resume in the order you need.
A job-winning resume layout has three main qualities:
- The job-winning resume layout is easy to read. No one enjoys reading a wall of text, especially recruiters. On the other hand, if your resume is enjoyable to read, there’s a higher chance that recruiters will spend more of their time learning about you and your qualities. At the end of this section, we’ll share a checklist with 7 tips to boost the readability of your resume and increase the chance that recruiters will like you.
- The job-winning layout is easy to scan. When recruiters scan your resume, it’s important to control where their eyes will go first. Every job is unique — depending on whether it’s an executive resume or a tech resume, recruiters will be looking for different things. Check the “Examples” section of this guide where we share the best performing resume layout examples for every job type.
- The job-winning layout is easy to remember . When recruiters like you, that’s great. But when they remember you, that’s a whole different level of appreciation. Most resume layouts are too similar to be remembered, so even a slight adjustment in section orders may pique the recruiter’s interest. Don’t go for an overkill though. We’ll share the most common resume formats and how you can use them to your advantage in the next section.
Readability and scannability checklist for best resume layout
- #1. Check your margins. Make sure there’s at least a 1-inch margin on all sides to ensure your resume looks good in PDF or when printed.
- #2. Use white space . The proper use of white space on your resume can increase the reader’s comprehension by as much as 20%. Make sure there’s enough space between sections and text blocks.
- #3. Utilize bullet points. Presenting your experience and skills in bullet points improves both the scannability and readability of your resume.
- #4. Create headers . Headers help organize your resume sections into a clear hierarchy.
- #5. Use colors . Colors add visual interest to your resume and let the recruiter’s eyes rest from the all-black text. The more creative your job the more colors you might use.
- #6. Check your font size . For the best readability pick a serif or sans-serif font. The size should be between 10.5 and 12 points to ensure you pass ATS scanners.
- #7. Add icons when you can. Icons both add visual interest to your resume and indicate a critical section of your resume. Check out the “Examples” section.
Last, but not least, is #8: Section Order. What sections should come first on your resume? Which ones recruiters are paying the most attention to?
It depends on your resume format and job specialty.
Resume template sections
In today's job market, your resume needs to be both impressive and ATS-friendly to help you stand out. Here are the essential sections you should include:
- Contact information : Include your full name, phone number, and professional email address.
- Professional summary : Offer a brief overview of your skills and career goals.
- Work experience: List your previous jobs, including your role, the company name, and dates of employment.
- Education : Detail your highest degree, the institution's name, and graduation year.
- Skills : Highlight relevant skills that match the job description.
You can also add a few extra sections to provide more insight into your qualifications:
- Certifications : If applicable, list any professional certifications that are relevant to the job.
- Volunteer work : Show any unpaid work that might demonstrate your commitment and skills.
What's the difference between resume sections and a resume outline?
Almost all articles on the topic get the part of an outline and resume sections wrong.
Likewise, you, the reader, get confused.
The difference between resume sections and an outline is that you use, reorder, and match different sections to create an outline.
(Side Note: We’ve made an extensive guide on resume sections so you know how to optimize them and maximize your chances of getting hired. If you haven’t already, feel free to check it out!)
How to choose the right resume format?
Usually, resumes are structured by following one of three formats:
- Reverse Chronological Resume Format
- Functional Resume Format
- Hybrid Resume Format
All three have their purpose when it comes to building a resume that stands out . Whichever format you decide to use should be based on your background, experience, and objective.
So, let’s go a bit more granular.
Reverse chronological order format
This is by far the most popular resume format out there.
One of the biggest advantages of the reverse chronological resume format is that it allows you to spotlight key achievements on a single page. It also provides a clear narrative for your work experience.
The biggest drawback, however, is the fact that gaps in your career are more noticeable.
Functional format
The functional resume format makes your skills the main highlight of your application.
You should still list any professional experience you have, but the format itself focuses on what you’re good at. This type of resume format is best for people who are looking to change careers. Focusing on your skills is specifically valuable for the new position you’re applying to.
Hybrid format
A hybrid resume format is exactly what it sounds like – a combination of both a functional and chronological resume.
It highlights both your skills and your most recent work experience. It’s for people who’d like to play it safe and avoid going all-in on a less popular format like the functional one.

How to Format Your Resume
Maddy Price / The Balance
The right resume format will grab the hiring manager’s attention immediately and make it clear that you’re the best candidate for the job while deemphasizing aspects of your career that you’d prefer not to highlight.
There are three basic types of professional resume formats:
- Chronological
- Combination
Some resume formats will work better than others for your situation. For example, if you have a gap in your resume , a history of job-hopping, or a career path that’s taken some strange twists and turns, a functional resume might be the best choice because it emphasizes skills over linear job experience.
On the other hand, if you can show a clear progression toward your current job opportunity, a chronological or combination resume might be the best option.
Your choice will depend on your career level, work experience, and job history. The job description might also make a difference. So, be flexible when choosing a resume format.
If you create several versions of your resume, including a comprehensive, a targeted, and a short teaser resume, you'll have the flexibility to market your credentials quickly and easily.
Which resume format is best for you? We’ll break down the advantages of each type and offer detailed resume layout examples to help you make your decision.
Keep page length in mind as you format your resume. One to two pages is fine for most situations; three or more pages is relevant for senior-level, government, and academic positions.
Chronological Resume Example and Template
The most common resume format is chronological (sample below). It lists your work history in reverse chronological order, with your most recent work history listed at the top. You may also add a summary or objective, and you'll want to include your education and credentials as well.
The advantage of this type of resume is that it highlights a linear progression in your career. In other words, if you've been focused on one type of career and you want to show how you've progressed on that path, a chronological resume is the way to go. It's also standard for some types of jobs, like teaching or government positions.
To create your own chronological resume, you can download the chronological resume template below (compatible with Google Docs and Microsoft Word) or review the example.

Resume Formats With Headlines and Profiles
Studies have shown that recruiters spend only seconds reviewing a resume before sorting it to the “yes” or “no” pile and moving on. For this reason, many candidates choose to add a section highlighting their most relevant skills at the top of their resume. There are several ways to do this:
- Resume with headline : A resume headline (also known as a resume title) is a phrase that summarizes why you are an ideal candidate. It usually appears near the top of your resume. Headlines can be used by a variety of candidates to highlight their best attributes and experience.
- Resume with headline and profile : Including both a brief headline and a profile can provide the hiring manager with even more information about you.
- Resume with summary statement : A summary statement is a brief paragraph or two along with a short list of your strongest qualifications for the job. It is also known as a summary of qualifications.
- Resume with branding statement : A branding statement is a brief, catchy statement (usually 15 words or fewer) that showcases what you have to offer to a hiring organization.
- Resume with objective : A resume objective is a one to two sentence description of who you are as a candidate and what you are looking for in a position. Some employers prefer a resume profile or summary over a resume objective, but it's up to you to decide which option is best. While objectives used to be standard, today it varies by the industry and position you're applying for. A profile and/or summary statement serves the same purpose and is preferred by many hiring managers.
Employers want to hire candidates who are interested in their specific job opening, not just any job. Customizing your resume every time will make sure that your resume is tailored appropriately.
In addition to choosing a type of resume, you will also need to select a font and font size and make style choices (such as when to use bullets, bold, and italics). Choose a font that's easy to read and professional. Calibri, Times New Roman, Arial, and Tahoma are all good choices for a font.
Keep the font size large enough to be legible. The body should be a 10-12 point font, but you can use a slightly larger font for headings.
It’s also important to be consistent in your style choices. If you decide to bullet your experience, for example, do so throughout. Similarly, once you choose a font, stick with it for the whole resume.
Template for Writing Your Own Resume
Use the following template to generate the information you'll need to include in your resume. Next, you can revise your resume so that it’s in the format you want. It might take a few drafts to get it right, and it's helpful to have someone review your resume for typos and other issues.
Remember that this is only one example of a resume format. It's a starting point. You can add information not included here, including some of the introductory information listed above, and change the order of the resume as long as your contact information stays at the top.
Sample Resume Format
Your Contact Information
First and Last Name Street Address City, State ZIP Phone Email Address
Career Summary (optional)
This customized section of your resume lists key achievements, skills, traits, and experience relevant to the position for which you are applying can serve dual purposes. It highlights your relevant experience and lets the prospective employer know that you have taken the time to create a resume that shows how you are qualified for the specific job .
This section of your resume includes your work history. List the companies you worked for, dates of employment, the positions you held, and a bulleted list of responsibilities and achievements.
City, State Dates Worked
- Responsibilities / Achievements
Company #2 City, State Dates Worked Job Title
In the education section of your resume, list the schools you attended, the degrees you attained, and any special awards and honors you earned. College, Degree Awards, Honors
Skills Include skills related to the position/career field that you are applying for, such as computer skills or language skills.
References There is no need to include references on your resume or even to mention that references are available. Rather, have a separate list of references to give to employers upon request.

Functional Resume: Writing Guide, Examples, & Template
11 min read · Updated on August 28, 2024
What is a functional resume, and is it suitable for your job search?
Submitting the best resume possible is essential regardless of the job you're applying to. Selecting the proper format for your unique circumstances is one aspect of ensuring that's the case. Many turn to the common chronological resume format. But what happens if your work history and skills don't fall neatly within that format? Then, a functional resume might be an option.
Below, we answer, “What is a functional resume?” and share tips with a template, as well.
What is a functional resume?
The functional resume format emphasizes your skills over your work history. The goal of a functional resume is to craft your carer history in such a way that proves how the skills you've acquired align with the job you want. It's these skills that will stand out first and foremost to the hiring team.
You still include your work history in a functional resume, though you don't go into detail about your accomplishments for each specific position. Instead, you include your accomplishments within each skill category.
FORESHADOWING: We have a functional resume example at the end of this post you can refer to and see how this works.
A functional resume tends to be a last-resort format for a couple of reasons:
Applicant tracking systems sometimes have a difficult time reading a functional resume format.
Since the functional format is not that common, it can be more difficult for recruiters and hiring managers to find the information they're seeking quickly.
Still, if you don't have a traditional work history but have many skills relevant to the job you're applying for, a functional resume could be the best choice for you.
What is a functional resume vs. a chronological resume?
The chronological resume, also referred to as a reverse chronological resume, is the most commonly used resume format. This format focuses on your work history instead of skills like the functional format.
In the chronological format, you will include your most recent job first, with the rest of your experience in reverse chronological order. Each position will have a set of bullets that flesh out your achievements in that role.
A chronological resume is an ATS-friendly format when it's written correctly. It also tends to be the most popular among hiring teams since they're familiar with the format and can easily locate the information that matters to them.

What is a functional resume vs. a hybrid resume?
A hybrid resume, also called a combination resume, blends aspects of the chronological and functional resume formats. The goal of a hybrid resume is to equally emphasize your skills and work history.
The hybrid resume has become a popular format choice for candidates since it gives the opportunity to emphasize the skills you have in combination with your work history. It's also a format that tends to be easily read by ATS and human readers.

When should you use a functional resume?
Now that we've answered “What is a functional resume?” let's discuss when you should and shouldn't use this format option.
A functional resume might work well for you if:
You have been out of the workforce for a while. Suppose you're reentering the workforce after some time. In that case, you might not want that fact to be the first thing prospective employers notice about your resume. Instead, you'd prefer they see your impressive categories of skills.
You have a large gap in your employment history. Similar to being out of the workforce for a while, a functional resume helps to emphasize your relevant skills first to give a positive spin on your resume, helping to take the emphasis off of your employment gap(s).
You have held jobs that span a lot of different types and industries . If your employment record is all over the place regarding the industries and types of jobs you've held, it might not be easy for a hiring team to connect your experience to the job you're applying for. A functional resume will allow you to emphasize that you have the skills necessary for the job first, so your diverse employment record isn't called into question (hopefully) as much.
You have little to no work experience. You might not have much work experience if you're right out of college. You do likely, however, have a lot of skills you've acquired through school activities, sports, part-time work, or school clubs. A functional resume allows you to be creative in the skills you represent first, helping to grab the attention of hiring teams with what's most relevant.
Your skills have been acquired through means other than traditional work experience. Suppose you have relevant skills acquired through things like hobbies, interests, or volunteer experience over conventional work experience. In that case, a functional resume will allow you to emphasize these skills so they stand out better than they would in a chronological format.
When should you not use a functional resume?
If any of the following pertain to you, then it's likely in your best interest to choose a hybrid or chronological resume format:
You have a traditional employment career trajectory. If you have plenty of work experience related to the job with a typical career growth path, then a chronological or hybrid resume is the way to go.
You're changing careers and want to emphasize transferable skills. If you've gained a lot of transferable skills and are making a career shift, a hybrid resume is an excellent way to highlight your transferable skills first, with your work experience coming in second.
Your most recent employment history is relevant. If your most recent employment is relevant to the job, even if some of the rest of your work history isn't, you'll likely do better with a hybrid or chronological format over a functional one.
What to include in a functional resume
Here are the sections to include in a functional resume:
Start with your contact information
Regardless of the format you select, you'll start it off with your contact information. This includes your name, cell phone number, email address, and location (city, state, zip code). You can also include your LinkedIn or professional website URL.
Kick it off with a resume summary
Another common element across all resume formats is starting it off with a resume summary . Your summary should encapsulate what your resume is about. You want to grab the reader's attention enough for them to want to learn more. Include three to five essential skills and one to two accomplishments, with some powerful adjectives to describe you.
Categorize your skills
The bulk of your resume for a functional format will be your Professional Skills section. Here's where you'll categorize your skills and include key accomplishments from your experience to showcase how you applied those skills successfully in the past.
Incorporate your work history
Following your Professional Skills section, include your work history. Here, include the name of the employer, your position, and the dates you were employed. Where you would include bullet points of your accomplishments below each position for a chronological and hybrid format, you will leave those off in the functional format. You've already covered key accomplishments within your categories of skills.
Close it off with education
Like other resume formats, your functional resume will end with your Education section . An exception to this is if you are a new hire with little to no work experience and a few skills to highlight. In that case, you'll emphasize your education by listing it first, followed by your Skills section and then your work history.
Your Education section should include your degree and where you obtained it. You can also include any honors you might've achieved.
Many also choose to include any relevant certifications in their Education section. Or, you can opt to include a separate Certifications section if you have more than one to highlight.
Include additional sections as appropriate
You may include additional sections on your resume depending on your unique circumstances. Additional sections could include Volunteer Experience, Hobbies and Interests, Certifications, Special Projects, and Technical Skills.
Tips for writing your functional resume
Here are a few additional tips to help you craft a job-winning resume:
Tailor your resume to each job. Refer to the job description and tailor your resume to include keywords and information that aligns with your skills and experience.
Use power verbs. Begin each work accomplishment bullet point with a power verb .
Include as much quantifiable information as possible. When describing your accomplishments, include results and use data to quantify those results as much as possible.
Example of a functional resume
Here is an example of a functional resume for someone pursuing an HR-related job. You'll see this individual has a brief employment gap and a bit of an unconventional career path, making a functional resume a suitable option.

How to Make a Resume in Word ?
The best thing about building a resume in Word is that Microsoft Word comes with many resume templates you can find within the program. If none of these preloaded formats do the trick, you can search for alternate templates on the internet (probably how you found these here).
Between the templates included in Word, the options available online, our free resume templates for Google Docs , or the templates you can use in the best AI resume builder , you should have no trouble finding a design that works for you.
Find free Word resume templates
Accessing resume templates on Microsoft Word is a quick, easy way to structure your document. All you have to do is take the following steps:
- Click “File,” then “New.”
- Type “Resume” into the search box at the top of the window.
- Browse the templates and double-click the one you want.
- Delete the sample text and add your personal information.
Upload your outside templates into Word
While Microsoft Word offers some excellent resume templates within the program, you can find even more options on the internet, including our professional resume examples .
Here’s how to find online templates and upload them into Word:
- Search Google for “resume templates,” or take advantage of our free resume templates .
- Download the resume that fits your needs.
- Open a new Word document.
- Click on “Insert” at the top of the page.
- Select “Object” from the drop-down menu.
- Find the file for the resume template in the box that appears. It’s most likely under “Downloads.”
- Click on the file for the resume template.
- Click “Insert” at the bottom-right corner of the box.
*Note: This process will upload your template, but it may be distorted, requiring you to spend some time manipulating boxes, lines, and font, which is why we recommend uploading your resumes with our free resume tool .
When it comes to creating a fantastic resume on Word, downloading the right template is only half the battle. From there, you need to do what it takes to fill the template with the right information.
There are two keys to making the most of your Word resume template: taking advantage of Word’s available features and practicing patience as you tweak and perfect the document.
Use Word’s available features
There’s a reason Word is so popular. It comes fully loaded with useful features, many of which will be a major help as you work on your next resume. Here are six features you should consider taking advantage of if you want your document to look its best:
- Word’s editor tool will check your resume for spelling and grammar. Don’t let recruiters doubt your professionalism.
- The Track Changes feature puts a red line through deleted text rather than eliminating it. Play around with the wording on your resume to weigh your options until you get it just right.
- Word’s Resume Assistant feature is specially designed for creating a new resume. Use this feature to see how others in your field have described their work experience, giving you the inspiration to overcome pesky writer’s block.
- Word’s line spacing feature lets you tighten up text, so there’s less blank space between lines. Say more on a single page.
- The margins adjustor on Word lets you cover more of the page with text. When you’re struggling to squeeze in important information, this extra space can prove vital.
- Word lets you convert your final resume to a PDF. This makes it easy to save your resume as a file you can send digitally.
Set aside ample time to build your Word resume
A resume on Word isn’t something you can polish off in five minutes even if you’ve uploaded a template. You need the document to come out looking fantastic, and that requires meticulous attention to detail.
While you work on your Word resume, consider the following:
- How to customize your filler text
- How to set the font size and color
- Which line spacing to use
- How to make an inflexible layout work for the information you need to include
- How to format your resume for ATS scanners
If all this sounds like too much of a hassle, just use our quick resume builder . By typing in your details and letting our tool take care of the rest, you’ll take the guesswork and stress out of the resume creation process.
There are countless resume templates in Word, and it’s up to you to find the option that best suits your industry and personality. No matter which template you choose, the most important thing is to represent yourself well. When it comes to writing resumes , content wins over style every time.
While a resume outline and template will give your document the basic structure it needs, save yourself time and frustration by opting for an easy resume maker experience instead.
Whether you want to upload and check a resume with our AI-powered tips or start from scratch, our tools are convenient and effective. If you’ve got your information handy, then a stylish, professional resume is just a few clicks away.
Remember, if you’re having trouble customizing your resume template , make sure you check out our job-specific resume samples . We also get that working with templates in Word can be tricky, so you can try one of our Google Docs resume templates or our AI resume builder (free) with us instead. How about this one here?

The best way to start is to choose a Word resume template for a professional outline. Word has prebuilt templates, or you can download and upload one you find online. Once your template is set, you can customize the font, colors, spacing, and columns to fit your needs. Some best practices when creating a resume in Word include keeping it on a single page, using a 12-14 point Arial or Times New Roman font for readability, and using single or 1.5 point spacing.
Try a reverse-chronological format . It tends to work best for most careers. Leading with your most recent experiences shows career growth and helps emphasize how you can help with current industry needs. For example, someone applying for a senior management role may want to show how they’ve climbed the ladder from assistant or project management roles. Alternatively, recent grads with limited experience or applicants for highly technical roles may also benefit from functional or hybrid formats that list relevant skills and accomplishments before employment history.
Word has many prebuilt resume templates you can access. To do so, click “File” then “New” and type “resume” in the search box that appears at the top right-hand corner. Then, simply choose the one that fits your needs and personality. To access a resume template for Word that you downloaded online, go to “Insert” then “Object” and choose the file from the box that appears.
To save and email the resume you created in Word, go to “File” then “Save As.” Once the box pops up, enter a file name that shows exactly what position you’re applying to, such as “First Name–Last Name–Position–2024.” Then, under the “File Format” dropdown, you should select PDF since it’s the most widely accepted file type for resumes. Lastly, you would compose your email, click attach files, and add the PDF you just saved.

How To Use Our Professional Resume Examples & Guides
You'll find various job resume examples for positions ranging from administrative to legal and IT to design on this page. After you view a few of our tailored resume ideas, you'll know what a recruiter is looking for and be able to provide it to them. It's a great way to distinguish you from the competitors who saw the same job description.
Before you delve into industry-specific resumes, take a look at a basic resume that could be used by all sorts of people. Everyone has to start somewhere, and our high school resume template provides a place to start. It also offers an array of information regarding formatting resumes, the right sections to include, and how everything comes together.
Regardless of what kind of job you are applying for, a hiring manager expects to see specific bits of information. Once you understand and have an idea of what a basic resume looks like, you can move forward toward resume samples that relate to the position you want.
The most commonly included resume sections include:
- Contact Information
- A resume objective
- Past work experience
Other sections might be required for specific jobs and industry positions, but the above make up the bulk of most resumes. So, now that you have a basic resume to look over as you create your own resume, let's delve into resume examples based on the industry the position is a part of.
Looking To Build the Best Resume for Your Job Application? Use Our Resume Builder
As you can see from the resume examples for the jobs above, the way you craft this critical document varies based on the position you want. Of course, good resumes help have your resume seen by more than applicant tracking systems, but great resumes make you stand out and get the attention you deserve.
With the use of free resume samples, you can create a document that sells you and your work history. However, there's an even easier way to get the job done. When you use the resume maker from CV Maker, the whole process becomes quicker, and you can be sure your resume will have a format and design that makes it exceptional.
Reasons to Use Our Resume Builder
The number one reason to use our resume builder is to be sure you get a resume that gets to a human's desk. We use modern technology to create a resume that holds all the information hiring managers and recruiters are excited to see. However, there are additional reasons to consider using our resume maker when you're in the process of applying for a new position.
- The process is fast and straightforward – When you use our online CV Maker, you can get a new resume ready and downloaded in a matter of a few minutes. The final resume will be professional and tailored to the industry and position you are interested in. The process starts with filling in your personal information and other resume content. Once everything has been entered, you can choose from 36 unique resume layouts before downloading your resume in PDF format.
- It's more likely to get you the job – Utilizing a professional resume that is representative of your skills, experience, and education is more likely to get a manager to look at your resume. The first step to being hired is being noticed. If your resume looks more exciting and professional than other candidates, that's a great way to ensure you get a spot in an interview.
- Applications are easier to organize – Most people are applying for several jobs simultaneously. This often means that your resume needs to be changed and adapted for each position. Instead of spending hours creating resumes in Microsoft Word or another program, you can quickly build and manage several resumes from your personal account hub when you use our CV Maker.
These are three of the most substantial reasons to consider using CV Maker for your resumes rather than handling the process independently. Save time, have a better chance of landing a job, and efficiently organize multiple applications when you utilize CV Maker.

Use our excellent resume examples to tailor your information for different industries and even different career levels to help improve your chances.
ATS-Friendly Formatting
Hirers today have less time than ever, so they use automated tools to help them make the most of every second. Applicant tracking systems (ATS) analyze resumes and rank them so hirers can weed out applicants who aren’t well-suited for the position. Our resume examples are ATS-friendly, so you can compete with other applicants on even footing.

Adding Personal Details
The first page you come to on the CV Maker will have you fill in personal information about yourself . For example, you will fill in your first and last name and email address, both of which will be included in the contact information section of the final resume. However, you can also add lots of other helpful information for a potential employer.
Our CV Maker has space to include your phone number, address, city, and zip code. If you need to include a photo with your resume, there's an accessible area to do that as well. Just click on the camera image and upload an appropriate picture with your contact information.
Depending on your specific needs, another button takes you to a space to add additional information. This section will allow you to include any or all of the information below:
- Date of birth
- Place of birch
- Driver's license details
- Nationality
- Marital status
- LinkedIn profile
The only required data for this section is your name and email address, but adding other information can create a better-rounded resume. Many of the resume examples we shared earlier will show how using certain information can be helpful depending on the job description.
Keep in mind that our CV Maker can also create resumes in various languages. Currently, our resume solution is compatible with the languages listed below:
After all the requisite information is ready on the personal details page, you can move back to the top of the page and click to go to the section page. This is where all your skills, experience, and education will be added, like in the resume examples you saw above.
Incorporating Your Professional Experience
Contact information is integral so a recruiter or hiring manager can reach out to you. However, the "my experiences" section is where all the other important information on your resume will be located. You'll share your hard and soft skills, explain why you're the right choice for the job, offer information about your work experience , cover your educational background, and include special skills.
The sections that are available by default include:
- Resume objective
- Work experience
- Education and qualifications
Any of these items can be formatted and filled with your own information. Or you can remove sections that aren't relevant based on resume examples in your industry. On top of that, CV Maker has an area at the bottom of the page where you can add other sections. The options included are:
- Achievements
- Publications
It's also possible to build a customized section of your choice. If you choose to do this, you can name it whatever you like and include a textbox that consists of the extra information you wish to share. In a situation where you decide you don't need a section you added, the settings icon can be used to hide it from a specific resume.
Choosing the Perfect Resume Template
Once you've filled out your personal information, added in your experiences, education, and skills, and made sure any extra sections you need are included, it's time to move forward to selecting a template. If you're the kind of person who has a creative mind, this might be your favorite part of the process.
To get to the template section, move to the top of the screen and click on "template." This will take you to a graphical page that shows you each of the templates available. One of the best parts of this page is that it takes the information you already put into the system and displays it on the template.
Since you can see the resume examples in action across dozens of templates, it is easier to choose the best one for your needs. For example, some of the resumes are more spread out and might be better for someone with less experience who wants to fill a whole page. Others are the opposite and work best for those with a lot of data to convey.
There are several resume templates to choose from, but selecting one isn't the only step in the process. For instance, you might decide to keep the default template, which is called Auckland. However, if you click on the template photo, you have another decision to make.
Clicking on the template brings up a window that shows it in more detail. You'll also notice that there are a variety of color swatches on the right-hand side. When you click on one of them, it changes the hues used on your resume examples. So, using the same Auckland template, you can make the left sidebar green, brown, black, or another color you like.
Once you find the template that best fits your needs, you can download it and have a full-featured document to send out to job listings you are interested in. Choose the template you like, choose a color you like, and then make sure to click the button to select that template. Then, scroll to the bottom of the page to download your resume.
Common Resume Formats
The proper format for a resume depends on the job and the applicant's amount of experience in it. A chronological format is ideal for those with several years of experience who aren't moving into a new industry. Our resume examples are formatted mainly this way to teach you how to create one of your own.
On the other hand, those switching industries or with little history can consider functional resumes or combination resumes depending on need.
Resume Writing Tips
Ready to craft a compelling resume that will grab hirers’ attention for all the right reasons? Just follow these simple tips:
- Send a customized resume to each company – never send generic resumes.
- Make sure you know what information the hirer values most so you can put it at the top of your resume.
- Use colors and shading to make your resume stand out but avoid using unusual fonts or images.
- Customize the sections of your resume to fit specific industry expectations (not all industries require every piece of background information).
- Make Sure To Proofread. Inally, make sure that you go over every inch of your resume before sending it to a recruiter or hiring manager. Proofreading can go a long way toward creating a resume that shows you take the small details seriously. Look for typos, grammar issues, poor formatting, and missing information.
Creating a Cover Letter
Having a great resume is essential, but a cover letter is also necessary. Cover letter examples can assist you with creating a document that recruiters want to read. It's the ideal space to show why you're an excellent fit for the job and what makes you different from other candidates. Take a look at various cover letter examples to decide how to build yours for the best results.

6. What are some common mistakes to avoid in resumes?
Mistakes with your resume could cost you a job opportunity. Some of the most important mistakes to avoid include the following:
- Not proofreading; grammar errors and typos can doom your application from the beginning.
- Highlighting duties rather than your accomplishments. Hirers want to know what you achieved, not what you were tasked with.
- Including irrelevant experience. Often, job experience that doesn’t speak to the opening in question is superfluous and should be omitted.
- Including an unprofessional email. If your email address is something like “animefan2010”, it’s worth the time to create something more professional. Include your first and last name and avoid special characters.

A resume template is the best cure for the blank page syndrome. You’re halfway done — all that’s left is to fill in the blanks in the resume template and hit save.
Select The Right Resume Format
The 3 most popular resume formats are chronological, functional, and combination resumes.
- Chronological resume organizes the information like LinkedIn does – from the latest position to the first one, with education, interests, and additional info listed later. It’s the most popular resume format, preferred for recruiters. Go for it unless you’re entry-level or changing careers.
- Functional resume keeps the focus on your skills and experience, rather than employment history. It’s the go-to choice for candidates with employment gaps and those without much hands-on work experience.
- Combination resume takes the best of both worlds and allows you to spice up your “dry” employment history with some juicy details about your skill set and achievements. Startups and edgier companies may prefer this.
Create a Compelling Summary
A resume summary is a two-sentence statement highlighting your key qualifications, skills, and value proposition for the role. It sits in the header area, right after your name and contact details. Think of it as a teaser to a movie — you should put your most marketable skills upfront to immediately capture the hiring manager’s attention and get them interested in reading the full copy.
Add Work History
List your employers in reverse chronological order. Each entry should include the employment date, job title, company name, key responsibilities, and achievements listed in bullet format . Include 3 to 5 bullet points for each position. Don’t get long-winded — your resume must fit into one page.
Include Marketable Resume Skills
With skills-based hiring on the rise, you must demonstrate specific competencies rather than just tenure and educational credentials. Showcase your best hard and soft skills in a featured sidebar section, plus your resume summary and work experience entries.
Check the following posts for ideas:
- Business acumen skills for resume

- Technical skills for a resume
- Childcare skills for resume
- Nursing skills for a resume

18 Résumé Writing Tips to Help You Stand Out
By Allison Pohle
Updated May 11, 2021 2:15 pm ET
- A résumé isn’t just a list of every job you’ve ever had. It should demonstrate your accomplishments.
- Mirror language used in the job posting so your résumé isn’t discarded by an applicant tracking system.
- Use a clean and simple format.
Companies increasingly rely on software to sort through applicants, which is why it is essential to tailor your résumé to ensure it makes the cut. Applicant tracking systems sort, scan and rank applicants by looking for keywords in applications. Although these programs can save time and money for employers, about 60% said such tools cause them to miss some qualified candidates, according to a 2016 survey of 1,200 job seekers and managers by CareerArc, a human-resources technology company, and Future Workplace, a research firm. Here’s how to make your résumé stand out to robots and humans alike.
1. Highlight your achievements in your résumé.
A common mistake job seekers make is believing a résumé is a recap of your career, when in reality, it should convey what you have accomplished, says Christy Noel, a career expert and author of “Your Personal Career Coach.”
“I always say, spend less of your real estate describing your job, and more time describing your results,” says Ms. Noel.
2. Customize your résumé.
Read over the job posting, and think about the work experience you have had that is most directly relevant to the position you are pursuing. You can leave out some past jobs and internships if the experience you had wasn’t related. Whatever you do: Don’t submit a generic résumé to dozens of postings. “Even if you have the best experience, if your résumé isn’t speaking directly to the position in which you are applying, there is a strong chance you’ll never even get an interview,” says Demisha Jennings, a certified professional résumé writer and founder and owner of She Assists LLC.
The same applies to your cover letter. It is your chance to provide more detail on how your experience will help you succeed in the job. Read our cover letter guide for how to write one that makes you stand out.
3. Decide how to format your résumé.
Most of the time, a chronological résumé will work well for communicating your past experience. But, in some cases, a functional or hybrid résumé might be more appropriate. Read more about résumé formats here.
4. Make your contact information easy to find.
Include your name, phone number, email address, city and state. It may also be appropriate to include the URL to your LinkedIn profile. You want it to be easy for hiring managers to reach out.
In addition to making it easy to connect with you, it is important to your job search that you grow your network. Read our networking guide for tips on how to do so.
5. Consider adding a summary.
Many résumé templates leave space for an objective statement, outlining career goals, but that approach is outdated, says Ms. Jennings. Instead, consider a carefully worded summary. The summary is often the first place a hiring manager will look, and gives you an opportunity to introduce your skills high up on the page. You can also work in relevant keywords from the job description. “Recruiters are looking for what you can bring to the table and what you’ve done, rather than you saying, ‘I’m seeking a position,’” Ms. Jennings says.
6. Great résumés should stand out to skim readers.
Most recruiters spend just a few seconds skimming through a résumé—with an average in one study of 7.4 seconds.
To have the best chance of making an impression, ensure your job titles, company names and dates of employment are easy to read. The sections of your résumé should be adequately spaced, too, says Dana Leavy-Detrick, founder and director of Brooklyn Resume Studio.
For additional ways to make a good impression on recruiters and headhunters, read our guide on how to work with headhunters .
7. Make your résumé robot-friendly.
Structure your résumé to meet the requirements of an applicant tracking system to give yourself the best chance of having it reach an actual human. Ms. Leavy-Detrick suggests the following:
- Optimize keywords. Use the same words and language that are in the job description. For example, three different companies might describe the same role as “programmer,” “developer” or “software engineer.”
- Use a straightforward format. Avoid tables and text-based graphics, which might not get picked up by a scan of the résumé. Sans-serif fonts such as Arial or Helvetica are also best to ensure readability.
- Think about order. When formatting each line item of work experience, list the company name first, followed by the job location (city, state), your job title, and your start and end dates. Some résumés can get lost if the dates are listed before the job title.
8. Prioritize relevant keywords.
Tailoring your skills to include language from the job posting is an important way to let both the applicant tracking system and, eventually, a hiring manager, see how your prior qualifications tie into the job requirements. But just because you have a résumé full of keywords doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get an interview. “The ATS isn’t there to help the job seeker, it is there to help the employer review your skills against their most important qualifications,” says Ashley Watkins, a career coach and résumé writer with Write Step Résumés LLC.
9. Craft compelling and concise bullet points.
The goal of a résumé is to list your accomplishments, rather than every duty you performed in the role. Résumé-writing experts recommend including no more than five bullet points per prior job listed.
- Don’t focus on tasks. Many job seekers describe what they did every day, such as answering phones or creating marketing materials, Ms. Watkins says. “Simply copying and pasting the job description doesn’t account for the things you did great, that you did above and beyond your peers,” she says.
- Instead, explain what those tasks achieved. Emphasize your results. Ms. Watkins suggests asking yourself “Did I save [the employer] money? Did I save time? Did I improve a process? Did I build a relationship?” These will help you format your bullet points.
- Use metrics. Say what you achieved, then contextualize it—with figures if possible. You might not be able to put a monetary value on every accomplishment, but you can frame it by sharing details like the time it took or how many people were involved. “If you raised sales 50% in two months, that means a whole lot more than ‘I’m in charge of sales,’” Ms. Watkins says.
- Don’t omit accomplishments that aren’t quantifiable. Not every achievement will have metrics to show success. If there are figures, you might not always have access to them. But that shouldn’t stop you from including them, says Ms. Leavy-Detrick. Perhaps you had a positive impact on the culture of an organization, or improved a struggling relationship with a client. These efforts could help to demonstrate your soft skills.
10. Focus on transferable skills if you lack experience.
If you are applying for a job in a new field or you are an entry-level applicant and don’t have much direct experience, don’t worry. Highlight transferable skills you have developed in the past that will serve you well in the position, says Ms. Leavy-Detrick. For example, you could play up leadership skills you developed participating in an extracurricular activity or time-management skills you learned in a prior job.
11. Go beyond your work history, and include all relevant experience.
If you are new to the workforce, or are job-hunting after being laid off, you could also include related experience that was outside of a traditional full-time job, says Ms. Watkins. For example, you can highlight volunteer work, consulting projects or educational training, all as part of making the case for your unique value, she says.
12. Don’t worry too much about gaps in your résumé.
The Covid-19 pandemic economy resulted in many people being laid off or furloughed. Ms. Watkins says the 2020 job market reminds her of 2008, when she worked as a recruiter. The expectation at that time, she says, was that candidates would have gaps on their résumés or list more short-term positions. While it isn’t necessary to directly address the gaps in your résumé, you should be prepared to talk about them in an interview . “The focus should not be centered on the fact that you were furloughed or laid off, it should be focused on you and your skills and what you do that impacts the company’s bottom line in a positive way,” Ms. Watkins says.
While it is common to list the months and years you started and ended positions in the job history section, you could just use years. This will draw less attention to a six- or eight-month gap, says Ms. Leavy-Detrick.
13. Highlight relevant skills.
It is common to add a skills section to your résumé , outlining expertise relevant to the position. You can include languages you speak, technical skills or courses you have done. If you lack experience, you can also complete some trainings, which you can find on LinkedIn and elsewhere, related to the job you are applying for and add the courses in this section, says Ms. Jennings.
14. Prioritize work experience over education.
The professional experience you have had is often more relevant to the position than your education history, which is why the work experience should be listed first. In the “Education” section, you should list where you attended college, if applicable, or the highest level of education you have attained. If you graduated with honors, you can flag that, but it isn’t necessary to list your GPA.
15. If you are early on in your career, a key résumé tip is to limit it to one page.
If you are early on in your career, you should limit your résumé to one page. It is OK to start spilling onto a second page after you have eight to 10 years of experience, says Ms. Leavy-Detrick.
16. Add some color for a stylish résumé that sets you apart.
Your résumé should look clean and professional and you should keep applicant tracking systems in mind when formatting the document. But, if it is appropriate, you can add subtle accents of color in the section headings or in bars that separate sections as a way to differentiate your résumé. Ms. Leavy-Detrick doesn’t overstress the need for good design with her clients. “But it can definitely help,” she says. “When I say design, I don’t mean crazy graphic design. I mean having a polished application,” she says. “Think of it the same way you would coming dressed to an interview, it is part of your presentation, and so many people overlook this on the résumé.”
It may be appropriate to incorporate a more creative and graphic-based layout depending on the field in which you work and where you are applying. If you are applying for a position in a creative field, and you are emailing your résumé directly to a hiring manager, then it can be appropriate to use more designs, says Ms. Jennings. But if you are applying to a large company that uses an applicant tracking system or job portal, she says it is best to avoid using graphics unless you are working with a résumé writer who can help you get your resume through the system.
17. Proofread and double-check the formatting.
You may be eager to send your résumé or submit your application, but you should take the time to first check for typos and grammatical errors. You could also have a friend or family member look over it. When you are checking for errors, be sure to double-check the formatting. Sometimes the spacing can get thrown off when you save the file, so check how it looks as a saved document and, if you can, save it as a PDF before sending.
18. Make sure the saved file name includes your name.
Make less work for the hiring manager by including your full name in the file name of the résumé document.

How To Write an Account Executive Resume
To write a great account executive resume, market yourself effectively to potential employers by illustrating your most compelling sales achievements. Incorporate eye-catching numbers and monetary figures to establish a sense of scope for your contributions. Brand yourself as a creative marketing and sales strategist using tangible examples.
Also, emphasize how you’ve successfully nurtured and maintained relationships in your previous roles, as account executives typically serve as the point of contact for clients. In this guide, we’ll provide expert tips to close the deal on your next big job opportunity.
1. Write a dynamic profile summarizing your qualifications
Think of your opening summary as a value proposition for the hiring manager. Your objective is to immediately present yourself as a qualified candidate who can generate results for the organization. Highlight your years of experience and three to four skill sets that match the job description. Use the remainder of the paragraph to showcase your unique talents as an account executive.
For example, you might draw attention to your expertise in driving new business development or identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts. Nurturing strategic partnerships and client relationships is another key responsibility of an account executive, so it’s important to illustrate this aspect of your experience directly in the summary.
Profile Example #1
A results-driven account executive with six years of experience specializing in consultative selling, account management, and pipeline development. A proven track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams and clients to drive new business development.
Profile Example #2
A senior account executive with nine years of experience specializing in marketing strategy, business development, and sales analytics. A proven track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance revenue growth. Adept at building and nurturing strategic partnerships centered on trust and integrity.
2. Add an accomplishment-driven professional experience section
The professional experience section serves as the foundation of your account executive resume. Paint a clear and engaging picture of your strongest achievements as a sales professional. Featuring hard numbers, monetary figures, and data is a must. Without this information, the hiring manager will have no way of understanding the full impact of your career accomplishments.
As you develop your bullet points, focus on establishing appropriate context for how you generated account revenue and new business. What strategies did you use to close deals? How did you nurture and maintain client relationships within your industry? These insights will help convey the nuances of your sales expertise.
Professional Experience Example #1
Account Executive, Highland Financial, New York, NY | March 2021 – present
- Oversee 30 client accounts valued at $1.5 million to $3 million in collaboration with account managers, nurture relationships, and support account growth
Professional Experience Example #2
Account Executive, Cadence Technologies, San Francisco, CA | October 2020 – present
3. Include relevant education and certifications
Bachelor’s degrees in sales and marketing are typically preferred for account executive positions. Certifications are not always required, but they won’t hurt your chances of landing the interview. Having a Strategic Account Management or Certified Business Development Professional credential can be particularly valuable for these types of positions.
- [Degree Name]
- [School Name], [City, State Abbreviation] | [Graduation Year]
- Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Sales and Marketing
- University of Washington, Seattle, WA | 2016
- [Certification Name], [Awarding Organization], [Completion Year]
4. List pertinent key skills
To pass initial screenings with applicant tracking systems (ATS), you need to incorporate specific keywords that align with the job description. These types of roles often involve a mix of sales and marketing skills, so it’s important to feature both to brand yourself as a versatile candidate. Below is a list of key terms you may encounter during the job search process:
Key Skills and Proficiencies | |
---|---|
Account management | Business development |
Client engagement | Client relations |
Cold calling | Cross-functional leadership |
Customer relationship management (CRM) software | Customer success |
Inbound sales and outbound sales | Lead generation |
Lead qualification | Market analysis |
Negotiations | Pipeline development |
Product knowledge | Prospecting |
Revenue generation | Sales strategy |
Strategic selling | Upselling |
How To Pick The Best Account Executive Resume Template
When selecting a template for your account executive resume, prioritize structure and readability over visual appeal. Bulky graphics and distracting colors can often draw attention away from your qualifications and achievements. Opt for a traditional top-down approach that allows the reader to review each section of your resume individually rather than placing them side by side.
Frequently Asked Questions: Account Executive Resume Examples and Advice
What are common action verbs for account executive resumes -.
Diversifying your usage of action verbs can be challenging when crafting your account executive resume. Often you’ll use the same three or four verbs throughout your bullet points. Although varying your word choice takes more time, it also helps to enhance the reading experience for the hiring manager. Review our list of action verbs to craft the professional experience section of your account executive resume:
Action Verbs | |
---|---|
Achieved | Analyzed |
Closed | Collaborated |
Demonstrated | Developed |

How do you align your resume with an account executive job description? -
Aligning your account manager resume with the job description is essential for generating interviews in today’s competitive job market. As you review the job description, pay close attention to the keywords and industry experience that employers seek. Instead of only listing key terms, demonstrate these skill sets using examples from your professional experience.
For instance, if a company is looking for a candidate who excels in new business development, define how you identified unique ways to grow an account portfolio. If the posting mentions Salesforce, show the hiring manager how you utilized CRM tools to infuse your account strategies with sales analytics.
What is the best account executive resume format? -
The reverse chronological format is best suited for account executive resumes. This approach ensures that your most recent and relevant experience is featured at the top of your document. Combination and functional resumes tend to prioritize skills and certifications, which are far less impactful than your sales achievements.

What Is a Resume?
A resume (also spelled résumé) is a written account that summarizes a job seeker’s work history, skills, professional achievements, education, and other qualifications. The word comes from the Middle French “résumer,” which means “to sum up.” Similar to but more concise than the biodata , the resume is usually the first document employers request from job applicants.
What Is a Curriculum Vitae?
A curriculum vitae (CV for short) is a comprehensive and detailed document describing a person’s professional and academic career. It’s a Latin term that means “course of life.”
What Is the Difference Between a Resume and a CV?
Most job applications | Usually for applications in the academe, medical fields, and scientific research (e.g., academic jobs, scholarships, grants, research fellowships, etc.) | |
One to two pages | No page limit | |
As short and concise as possible | Contains more information | |
Highly customized to match the specific requirements per position | No changes unless there are new achievements or qualifications | |
Creative or minimalist design with bullet points, colors, icons, and other design elements | Minimalist design with plain text, more sections, and no bullet points |
A resume and curriculum vitae are not always interchangeable. A resume summarizes one’s qualifications, while a CV provides a more in-depth and extensive career overview.
These documents differ mainly in terms of what each is used for, how long it is, what details are included, and how each is designed.
If you’re applying for a job in the Philippines , it’s easy to differentiate a resume from a CV. However, it’s tricky when you apply for jobs abroad.
Different countries have different requirements for resumes and CVs. Here are some pointers to remember when sending a resume or CV to the following countries:
- The United States and Canada – A resume is used for job applications, while a CV is used only for academic applications.
- Europe and New Zealand – When a company asks for a CV, you should submit a brief account of your qualifications (equivalent to a US resume). The term resume isn’t used in these locations.
- Australia , South Africa, and most Asian countries – Used interchangeably, a resume and a CV refer to the same short job application document. However, resumes are most common for private-sector jobs, while CVs are preferred for government jobs .
How To Write an Effective Resume in the Philippines: 8 Steps
1. use the right resume format.
Start by knowing which resume format will work best for your job application. Resume formats differ in the qualifications they emphasize. So choose a format highlighting whatever you want recruiters to notice on your resume.
When deciding on a resume format, consider your work experience, skillset, career goals, and the job you’re applying for.
Here are four resume formats, including the pros and cons and when to use each:
a. Reverse-chronological
This traditional resume format is what most candidates use (and employers are most familiar with). It highlights career progression by listing work experience in reverse-chronological order, starting with the latest and working through past jobs.
Advantages:
- Easier to see a candidate’s career development
- Preferred by most employers because it’s easier to read and scan
Disadvantages:
- Hard to stand out since most candidates are using this format
- Highlights the lack of experience for fresh graduates, undergraduates, job hoppers, and those with long employment gaps or frequent career changes
Best resume format for:
- Candidates with plenty of work experience relevant to the job they’re applying for
- Showing career advancement (e.g., promotion, lateral movement, overseas assignment, etc.)
Sample reverse-chronological resume format:
b. Functional
Also called the skills-based resume, the functional format emphasizes an applicant’s skills rather than work experience.
Instead of listing your work history first, put your qualifications and skills at the top of your resume. Organize your functional resume by grouping abilities with similar themes together (e.g., “Leadership Skills,” “Customer Service Skills,” Marketing Skills,” etc.).
Advantage: Highlights skills and downplays lack of experience
Disadvantage: It might be perceived as hiding one’s shortcomings
- Anyone who lacks relevant work experience, such as fresh graduates, working students, applicants with employment gaps, job hoppers, and career switchers
- Candidates with an expert level of experience who want to emphasize a specific skillset
Sample functional resume format:
The hybrid resume format combines some aspects of both reverse-chronological and functional formats. Also called a combination resume, this format consists of two parts: the first highlights relevant qualifications and skills, and the second lists your work history.
- It provides the same benefits as the reverse-chronological format but with more flexibility
- Can address questions about potential red flags such as employment gaps, job-hopping, and career changes
- Not as familiar to employers as other resume formats
- Not suitable for entry-level applicants
- Experienced pros in a particular industry
- Showcasing a diverse and developed skillset, especially for positions that require skills in at least three different fields or categories
- Candidates switching careers or with gaps in work history
Sample hybrid resume format:
d. Infographic
An infographic resume uses graphic design elements such as colors, illustrations, icons, charts, and font styling instead of just basic text. Regarding content structure, this type of resume can be either reverse-chronological, functional, or hybrid.
Advantage: Grabs attention and can easily stand out
Disadvantage: Hard to pull off and can leave a wrong impression if not executed well
- Designers and other creative professionals
- Marketing and advertising professionals with design skills (or who can hire a freelance designer to create a resume)
Sample infographic resume format:
2. Create Your Resume Header
Regardless of your resume format, always put your name and contact information at the top. If you make the next cut, the recruiter or hiring manager will quickly know how to contact you.
Must-have information on a resume header:
- Telephone number/Mobile number
- Email address
Optional information on a resume header:
- Professional title (e.g., “Marketing Professional,” “Web Developer,” etc.)
- LinkedIn profile URL
- Website/Blog URL
- Link to an online portfolio
3. Write a Resume Introduction
The introduction is one of the most critical parts of a resume, as it highlights the candidate’s most important qualifications. Since it’s placed somewhere at the top of the page, recruiters notice the introduction first before everything else.
There are four ways to present a resume introduction. The right option depends on the job applied for, as well as the candidate’s skillsets and work experience.
a. Qualifications Summary
A summary of qualifications lists crucial career accomplishments with four to six bullet points . Use this type of resume intro if you have much work experience with measurable achievements and diverse skill sets.
Sample Qualifications Summary:
b. Career Objective
This resume section states in two to three sentences why you want a specific position in the company. Using a career objective on a resume is ideal for fresh graduates, entry-level candidates, and career switchers with little or no relevant work experience.
Sample Career Objective:
c. Professional Profile
This resume intro combines the qualifications summary and career objective . The professional profile can be either a bullet-point list or a brief paragraph.
Use a professional profile if you are applying for a position in the same industry, have particular expertise, and have a significant career achievement to highlight.
Sample Professional Profile:
d. Professional Summary
This section highlights the top skills, experience, and achievements in your career in two to three sentences. It may also mention the job title and years of experience.
A professional summary works for experienced and skilled candidates, allowing them to showcase their most important qualifications.
Sample Professional Summary:
4. List Your Relevant Work Experience
The work experience section (also labeled “Professional Experience” or simply “Experience”) is your opportunity to prove your qualifications to potential employers.
You don’t have to list your entire career— choose up to three to five experiences most relevant to the job you’re applying for.
If you use the reverse-chronological format, place your work experience near the top, right below your resume intro. But this section should be placed somewhere lower for the functional format, like below the education section.
How to list work experience on your resume
The standard format for listing work experience includes the following information:
- Job title – Your job titles should be prominent on a resume to make it easy for potential employers to scan and find your relevant experience for the job. Put each job title at the top of each entry;
- Company name and location – Below or next to your job title, put the name of your past or present employer and its city and/or country of location. If you’re employed by a prestigious or well-known company in the industry, you may place its name on top of your work experience instead of the job title. If the company name is unfamiliar, you may write a short description of the organization;
- Employment dates – Add the timeframe of your employment in each company. You can indicate the year or the month and year when each position started and ended. No need to write the full dates. If you’re still employed with a particular company, put “present” after your start date (e.g., August 2018-present);
- Key responsibilities and achievements – This part describes what you did and how well you did your job. List the duties and notable accomplishments most relevant to the new job (around three to five bullet points) in order of decreasing importance. To stand out, focus on your achievements rather than your daily responsibilities. Mention exactly how you helped the business grow, exceeded your KPIs, got promoted quickly, and so on.
5. Add Your Education
The education section shows that you meet any academic requirements for a specific role, such as a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a related field.
Where you put this section and how much information you include depend on your experience level. If you’ve worked for a long time, keep your education short and place it after the work experience section.
However, if you lack experience, you may want to highlight your education by making it detailed and putting it near the top (above your work experience). This is also a good strategy for professionals emphasizing academic success, such as those in legal, medicine, accountancy, and education.
How To List Education on Your Resume
List your education, starting with your highest degree, in this format:
- School name
- Location (city/province or country, if you studied abroad)
- Graduation date (month and year)
- Honors and awards received (e.g., cum laude, dean’s lister, leadership excellence, scholarship , etc.)
If you have a college degree, there is no need to add your high school and grade school information.
6. List Your Hard and Soft Skills
Your resume should have a good mix of hard and soft skills because employers are looking for both.
Hard skills are measurable abilities that get a job done, such as coding in different programming languages, video editing, bookkeeping, and social media management.
Soft skills are personality traits that shape how you do your job, work, and interact with co-workers. Soft skills include leadership, professionalism, teamwork, initiative, persistence, and self-motivation.
The growing trend in recruitment nowadays is that employers value soft skills more than hard skills. Consider that fact when writing the skills section of your resume.
JobStreet.com’s 2018 Fresh Graduate Report 2 , for instance, found that most employers consider three things when screening candidates: attitude/work ethic, analytical thinking, and communication skills.
An iCIMS Hiring Insights report 3 notes that the top fields where soft skills matter more than hard skills are customer service, human resources, and sales/marketing.
According to the report, more recruiters place greater importance on soft skills for management than entry-level positions. The most valuable soft skills for senior-level posts are problem-solving, oral communication, and adaptability.
How To List Skills on Your Resume
- Choose five to eight of your hard and soft skills most relevant to the position you’re applying for. For an easy read, list them as bullet points.
- If you have a long list of hard skills, group them into categories. For example, if you’re a virtual assistant , you can categorize your skills into administrative, email management, social media management, etc.
- For each hard skill, include your proficiency level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/expert).
7. Personalize Your Resume With Additional Sections
Chances are, hundreds of applicants for the same position have the same (or higher) level of work experience, education, and skills as yours.
How do you set yourself apart?
Add a personal touch to your resume. Show employers that you are well-rounded and do something outside of work. After all, the experience and skills you gain from it can also be applied to the workplace.
Depending on your profession or industry and what you prefer to highlight, here are the optional sections you may list on your resume.
a. Certifications/Licenses
Include any relevant information in your resume if you’re in a profession with certification or licensing requirements (such as nursing, medicine, and engineering).
Even if your industry doesn’t require licensing, you may include any professional development courses you’ve earned, like a professional certificate in digital marketing.
b. Volunteer Work
Do you spend your free time helping others? Your volunteering experience is worth adding to your resume.
Studies find that listing volunteer work raises a candidate’s chance of getting hired. Showing that you help the community gives the impression that you’re a loyal, committed employee. You can also prove critical skills such as leadership, problem-solving, communication, teamwork, networking, event planning, fundraising, etc.
It’s a great strategy for students and fresh graduates without work experience and candidates with long unemployment periods.
For this section, the typical format lists the organization’s name, inclusive dates of volunteer work, achievements, and a short description of volunteer experience.
c. Languages
The ability to communicate in two or more languages is valuable in fields such as translation, ESL teaching, writing, and customer service.
It’s also valuable for multinational companies where the chance of career growth is high for multi-lingual employees who may be assigned to work in different countries.
So if you’re well-versed in a foreign language, add that info to your resume. To list your language skills, write the languages you can speak and understand and your proficiency level for each one (basic/intermediate/proficient/fluent/native).
d. Hobbies and Interests
The hobbies and interests section may be the least important, but it can boost your resume if it’s related to the position you’re applying for.
For example, being a basketball coach means you have the leadership, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills required for a management position in a company.
8. Proofread and Review Multiple Times
Save yourself from potential embarrassment and rejection due to glaring mistakes. When you’ve finished writing your resume and cover letter , edit and proofread them multiple times to catch and correct errors, including the following:
- Incorrect, incomplete, or outdated contact details;
- Grammatical errors, particularly misspellings and wrong verb tenses (Use past tense for former positions and present tense for your current position);
- Formatting inconsistencies (different date formats, font types, heading formats, etc.).
Remember these pointers when proofreading your resume and cover letter:
- Read the document slowly from the beginning. Then read it backward per phrase. Pay close attention to every phrase.
- Proofread your resume several times at different times of the day.
- Run a grammar and spelling check on your computer. You can install online tools like Grammarly to help you spot errors you missed from your manual proofreading.
- Ask a friend or family member for help. Please take note of their feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Tips and Warnings
1. use powerful action verbs.
A common mistake in resume writing is starting every phrase with “Responsible for.” These words take up space and don’t add value to your resume. Instead, use strong action verbs that instantly grab the hiring manager’s attention.
Choose action verbs 4 that goes beyond just stating your duties. Use words that show how you delivered results, exceeded expectations, solved problems, did something innovative, or accomplished anything.
Here are some of the most potent action verbs that can help you accomplish that:
- Accelerated
- Accomplished/Achieved
- Awarded/Won
- Created/Established
- Implemented
- Increased/Boosted
- Decreased/Reduced/Minimized
- Led/Managed
- Promoted (to a higher position)
- Strengthened
- Trained/Mentored
- Transformed
- Volunteered
2. Quantify Your Accomplishments
Using the right action words alone is not enough to convince employers that you’re a strong candidate for the job.
As much as possible, support your list of accomplishments with data . Include numbers, percentages , monetary values (in peso, dollar, or any applicable currency), timeframe, and other performance metrics to support your successes.
For example, instead of simply stating you “Reduced average customer waiting time,” you can improve it by adding numbers: “Reduced average customer waiting time from 24 hours to 1 hour.”
If possible, briefly state how you accomplished something. The example above can be further improved: “Reduced average customer waiting time from 24 hours to 1 hour by organizing the customer service team’s workflow and prioritizing customer requests.”
Other specific, measurable achievements to add to your resume include the following:
- KPIs/Performance targets achieved or surpassed
- % increase in sales, revenues, profit margin, conversion rates, website traffic, production efficiency, etc.
- % cost savings generated or expenses reduced
- Number of people managed, trained, or mentored
- Number of customers handled or served daily
- Amount of grants, funding, or donations generated
3. Have a Simple and Consistent Layout
To get their resume noticed, some applicants go overboard with colors, illustrations, and other design elements—which are unnecessary and distracting.
Remember: less is more. Go easy on your layout. Let your credentials speak louder than your resume design. Use colors, icons, and what not to enhance your resume’s visual appeal, not overshadow its content.
So, how should your resume look to make an impression?
A 2018 Ladders eye-tracking study 5 found the common elements of resumes where recruiters spent the most time and focus on :
- Clear, simple layouts with marked section headings
- An overview at the top of the resume
- Position titles in boldface supported by accomplishments in bullet points
- Clear, easy-to-read fonts
The same study also identified the common elements of worst-performing resumes to avoid :
- Cluttered design with long sentences, multiple columns, and very little white space
- Little use of section headings
- Keyword overuse (Keyword use is helpful in resume writing, but overdoing it can make your document sound robotic.)
In addition, having ample white space makes a resume more readable. For most resumes, a one-inch margin around the page works. This also gives the recruiter and hiring manager enough space to write comments on a printed resume.
If you must reduce the margin size to fit your content on a page or two, ensure it isn’t lower than 0.5 inches.
Consistency in your resume formatting is important , too. If you italicize company names, for instance, all the others should also be in italics. All job responsibilities and accomplishments must be in bullet lists. Also, use the same font for all text in your document.
The key is to keep your resume’s look uniform throughout. Otherwise, the recruiter would think you’re careless, which might spill over your work performance.
4. Choose the Right Font Type and Size
The best font and text size won’t make the reader squint.
What to use:
- Easy-to-read font (e.g., Arial, Calibri, Georgia, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Verdana, etc.)
- Different font sizes in decreasing order for your name (24 pt), section headings (14-16 pt), and bullet points/paragraphs (10-12 pt)
What to avoid:
- Ornate and cursive fonts that are difficult to read
- Fancy and wacky fonts, including Comic Sans, that don’t look professional
- Font size below 10 pt
- Using one text size throughout
5. Submit Your Job Application Properly
All it takes to botch your job application—even with a perfectly written resume and cover letter —is failing to follow the employer’s instructions on document submission.
Take the time to carefully read the job posting’s submission requirements before you send your application. Keep an eye out for these usual requirements:
- Where to send the materials – While most employers require submission through email, others ask applicants to upload their resumes online.
- Email subject line – Look for a specific subject line format. If there’s none, use this standard format: [Position Title] Resume – [Your Name]. Example: Marketing Assistant Resume – Juan Dela Cruz.
- Types of required attachments – Besides the resume and cover letter, the employer might have other requirements, such as a portfolio or work samples. Make sure to attach them as well.
- File format – Should you send your documents in a specific format? Check the job ad to find out. If it doesn’t specify anything, attach your job application materials in either PDF or DOCX, as these are employers’ most preferred file formats.
- Attachment name – Be specific when naming your attachments. If the employer has no specifications for attachment naming, you can use this format: [Your Name] – [Position Title] – [Attachment Type]. Example: Juan Dela Cruz – Marketing Assistant – Work Sample
- Cover letter submission – Check if the job posting mentions how to submit a cover letter. The employer might require you to attach it to your email. Otherwise, you can copy the text and paste it into the body of your email message.
- Submission deadline – Never overlook this detail, or your job application will be ignored. Government job postings, in particular, set a deadline for document submission.
- Others – Some employers test applicants’ ability to follow instructions by asking them to insert a specific word in the subject line or cover letter.
Additionally, use a professional email address (ideally one with only your name or initials) when sending your resume and other documents. An email address that’s cutesy or filled with odd characters doesn’t only come off as unprofessional but also shows that you’re not taking your job application seriously.
Lastly—and most importantly—never mass email your resume. It reeks of carelessness and lack of attention to detail.
Put yourself in the shoes of the hiring manager. Would you hire someone who sent a generic job application to multiple companies at once?
Frequently Asked Questions
1. do i need a different resume for every job application.
While submitting just one version of a resume to all possible employers is the most convenient thing to do, it won’t be as effective as customizing your resume to each position you’re applying for.
What works for one position or company may not work for another. Your resume and cover letter must be tailored to each job application. It takes more time and effort to write different resumes and cover letters for different job openings, but all will be worth it when you get selected for interviews.
There are several ways to write a targeted resume and cover letter without rewriting the entire document.
a. Choose details that are directly relevant to the role. The work experience and skills you include in your resume should closely match the requirements in the job ad. You don’t have to list your entire work history. Exclude information that’s not related to the position you’re applying for.
b. Write a custom resume intro. You can rewrite your resume’s overview according to the company’s challenges (and how you can help solve them), the top skills each employer seeks, and the level of experience required for the job.
c. Re-arrange your lists . If you specialize in two or more fields, highlight the one required for the specific role. For example, if you have both a writing and SEO background, focus on your writing skills for your writing job applications and your SEO expertise for SEO-related jobs.
d. Use keywords. An effective customization strategy is finding the most important keywords from the job posting and mentioning them in your resume and cover letter. These job-specific keywords are what employers look for when scanning resumes and cover letters.
2. Which is better: a traditional-looking or a modern/creative resume?
The right resume design depends on the position you’re applying for and your industry.
For traditional industries such as business, finance, banking, legal, and healthcare, stick to the conventional, formal-looking resume. Sending a creative resume for a position in these industries would be seen as unprofessional.
Suppose you’re pursuing a career in advertising, marketing, or any industry that values creativity and innovation. In that case, a modern resume (like an infographic or interactive resume) will make you stand out. This is especially true for graphic designers, animators, multimedia artists, and other creative professionals whose resume design and layout skills will be assessed.
3. How long should a resume be?
Studies have conflicting recommendations on the optimal resume length . Some say one page is what most employers prefer, while others claim that two-page resumes showcase a candidate’s qualifications better. In reality, recruiters wouldn’t mind whether you submit a page or two. What matters is that your resume is concise and lists all your relevant experience and skills.
The correct number of pages depends on the position and the level of experience required. As a rule of thumb, here’s when to use a particular length for your resume:
a. One-page resume – This is ideal for most job applications, as it’s faster to read than a multi-page resume. Entry-level candidates with little experiences, such as fresh graduates and career changers, should aim for a single-page resume.
b. Two-page resume – For mid-level positions that require at least 5 to 10 years of experience, two pages allow candidates to include all relevant information. A second page is also necessary for jobs requiring technical skills, as well as government job applicants who must list all training and conferences attended.
c. Three-page resume (or CV) – Three or more pages are generally acceptable for senior management positions or candidates with over ten years of experience. This is because they need more space to make a detailed list of their experiences and accomplishments. The same goes for professionals in the academic, scientific, and medical fields who need to elaborate on their work experience and educational background.
Still undecided? Just write your resume first without thinking about the length. Once you’ve finished, please review it and cut out unnecessary details.
4. How can I cut down the length of my resume to make it more concise?
Avoid cramming as much information as possible onto your resume. Omit irrelevant details that don’t relate directly to the job and are unnecessary for the employer’s hiring decision.
Here are some examples:
a. Personal details that could lead to hiring discrimination , such as age, birthdate, sexual orientation, civil status, height, weight, religion, name of spouse and children, and political affiliation, unless the position requires it.
b. Second phone number or email address – This information wastes space on the page and may confuse the recruiter.
c. Personal website or blog – Not necessary unless you’re a writer, web designer, or SEO professional who wants to showcase your relevant skills.
d. Social media profiles – Provide only your LinkedIn profile. Other social networks are too personal and unnecessary. The hiring manager might “stalk” your online profiles anyway.
e. Salary history and expected salary – The recruiter will ask for this information during the interview. It’s too early (not to mention imprudent) to bring up your salary in the first stage of your application.
f. Work experience dating back over 15 years , unless the roles are still relevant to your current career.
g. Unrelated hobbies that remotely have anything to do with the job.
h. Obsolete skills – The employer doesn’t need to know that you are proficient with outdated technology or no longer have current and relevant abilities in your industry.
i. Street addresses of companies and schools – State the city and province (plus the country if located abroad) of your employers and schools.
5. Should I put my photo on my resume?
Generally, the candidate’s photo isn’t necessary on a resume. After all, your resume should be about your credentials and not your looks. The only exceptions are positions where appearance matters, such as acting, modeling, customer service, and brand ambassador jobs.
Another consideration when deciding whether to add a photo or not is the country where you plan to work. Resume photos are acceptable in the Philippines, Japan , China, South Korea , and most European countries. But in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Sweden, including a photo on a resume is generally unacceptable.
If you decide to put your photo, make sure it’s a headshot (2 x 2 size) that looks clear and professional with a plain background, similar to your passport picture . You should also be dressed appropriately in your resume photo. Please place it in the upper left or right corner of the page.
6. Are character references in a resume required?
References are generally not required for resumes. The references section is just optional. Skip it altogether, especially if you’re trying to fit more critical information onto your resume.
Also, you don’t have to indicate “References available upon request” on your resume because it’s understood that you have them. You can wait until you’re asked to provide your references.
If a job posting requires character references, be careful who you choose to include in your resume. These people should be able to vouch for your character and abilities, especially those who know you well and think highly of you (except for your family and friends).
Your references could be present or past managers/supervisors, colleagues, professors/teachers, coaches, or clients. Ideally, these people are professional and articulate.
There are other reasons why adding references to your resume can be a good strategy. You might know or have worked with someone well-known and respected in your industry. Or someone in an executive-level position, such as a university dean, CEO, VP, or director in your former company. You can impress the recruiter by including people with such stature in your references.
Also, character references can boost your job application if you don’t have much work history yet.
As a common courtesy, get the consent of the people you’ll enlist as your references before you share their contact information with recruiters. Let them know that someone might contact them and ask questions about you.
When writing your references, include the necessary details: complete name, position title, mobile number, landline number (if any), and email address. Put the reference section at the bottom of the page.
7. I don’t have any work experience. What do I put in my resume?
Even if you don’t have a formal work history, you can focus on qualifications other than paid work experience.
If you’re a student, fresh graduate, or career shifter, there are other details worth adding to your resume.
a. Internship experience b. Part-time , freelance , or summer jobs (as long as the experience and skills gained from them are relevant to the job) c. Volunteering experience in charities, non-profit organizations, barangay-sponsored programs or activities, etc. d. Extracurricular activities in school (such as membership or leadership experience in student organizations, campus publications, etc.) e. Certifications, languages, hobbies, and interests f. Past projects or a small business you’re currently running g. Character references h. General weighted average (GWA) i. Relevant seminars, workshops, conferences, or online courses attended
Moreover, highlight your education and soft skills. To do that, use the functional resume format that plays up skills and education and downplays work experience.
8. I was a freelancer/entrepreneur, and now I want to get an office job. How do I list self-employment on my resume?
Adding freelance or business experience to your resume resembles listing formal work experience. You need to make some tweaks. Here’s how to pull it off:
a. Place a job title . Even if your position in your freelance work or business has no official title, give yourself a job title that accurately describes the nature of your work, e.g., “Freelance Software Developer,” “ Real Estate Agent ,” “Financial Advisor,” “Marketing Consultant,” “Small Business Owner,” etc.
b. Add a company name . Yes, you can add a company name even if you’re not employed by one. If your business is registered with the DTI and BIR , use your official business name.
c. List your duties or services. Briefly describe your work in each bullet point if you’re a freelancer. Worked for multiple clients? Summarize your responsibilities and accomplishments with your clients. If you’re an entrepreneur, describe your business’s nature and essential duties and achievements as the owner. Emphasize notable projects and clients. If you’ve worked for or done business with well-known clients, mention them in your resume (except if you have a confidentiality clause in your contract). It’s also great to single out a project that helped you gain more knowledge and skills required for the job.
Here’s an example of how self-employment is listed on a freelancer’s resume:
Freelance Writer ABC Writing Services, Inc. (May 2015-2019) *Produced blog posts, sales copies, and product descriptions for various e-commerce websites *Assisted in editing clients’ website content *Consistently delivered outputs on time
Here’s an example of how self-employment is listed on an entrepreneur’s resume:
Owner/Operator XYZ Enterprises, Inc. (2017-present) *Started own business selling healthy homemade meals online *Took charge of the overall operations, including raw material sourcing, marketing, website maintenance, shipping, customer service, and accounting *Successfully expanded the product line to include healthy desserts and meal plans in 2019
9. How do I handle employment gaps on my resume?
A study 6 found that work gaps on a resume lower the chance of getting an interview by 45%. Employers assume the worst when they see gaps between work experiences on a resume. A gap might mean the person may do it again.
If appropriately addressed, however, your employment gaps shouldn’t be a cause for concern. Here’s what you can do:
a. Use the functional or combination resume format to emphasize your relevant skills and education.
b. Show the gap on your resume . There’s no point in hiding it. But briefly explain what you were doing during that period in your cover letter. Some reasons are legitimate (like job loss due to an economic crisis, starting a family, becoming a stay-at-home parent, recovery from an accident or severe illness, etc.), so there’s no harm in stating yours.
c. List any projects or activities —paid or unpaid—that you’re involved in during the work gap. These may include part-time, freelance, and volunteer work.
d. No need to explain an old gap that occurred more than ten years ago or a short gap that happened for less than six months. It doesn’t matter and will perhaps go unnoticed.
e. Never apologize for the gap. The hiring manager will understand if you assure them the work gap won’t happen again.
10. I have frequently changed jobs. How can I avoid appearing to be a job-hopper?
Lack of consistent work history doesn’t look good on a resume. It’s a red flag for hiring managers—they might assume the candidate either kept getting fired due to poor performance/lousy workplace behavior or easily lost motivation to work.
Whatever your reason for having short-term stints, you can still create a strong resume and avoid the “job-hopper” label. Here’s how:
a. Use a functional or combination resume format , focusing more on your skills than work experience.
b. Write a compelling career objective. Emphasize your desire to stay in a position or stick to a company for a long time.
c. List transferrable skills that you gained from an unrelated job or industry that you can apply to the new position.
d. Have a separate section for your work achievements. Show that you contributed something valuable to your former employers, even if you stayed only briefly.
e. Omit short-term jobs that are irrelevant to the new position.
f. Combine work experiences, if possible. This strategy works for candidates with related freelance projects with different clients. Instead of listing each freelance gig, you can group the projects under one entry and indicate that it’s for various clients.
g. Let your cover letter do the talking. Mention that you’re looking for a career change and briefly explain why. If the job-hopping was involuntary, state the reason (e.g., layoff, redundancy, business closure , etc.). You can also list what you will do to help address the team or company’s challenges.
