How to create a resume that gets read
Put the most important thing first: your most recent job, or your education if you are a new graduate. Under each job, write two to four lines that start with what you did and end with a result — a number where you have one.
Keep it to one page if you have under five years of experience, two at most. Use the same words as the job post for skills you really have, because that is what recruiters and screening software search for.
Save it as a PDF unless the employer asks for Word. Name the file with your name and the role, and read it once out loud before you send it — that catches most typos.
What makes a resume maker worth using
A good resume maker saves you from fighting with a word processor, but the result still has to work. Three things matter: the text must be selectable (not a picture), the reading order must match what you see, and you should be able to change the design without retyping. HiredBound is built around those three.
