What every guide covers

  • A full example — a complete resume for the role, rendered section by section, so you can see the level of detail expected.
  • The sections recruiters look for — what belongs in each block, and what to leave out.
  • Keywords and skills — the wording that matches how the role is actually advertised and screened.
  • ATS notes — how a parser reads that structure, and the formatting that quietly breaks it.

How to use a guide

  1. Read the example to calibrate the level of detail for your seniority.
  2. Rewrite your own bullets to lead with an outcome, then the action, then the scale.
  3. Mirror the keywords that genuinely describe your work — the ones you can talk about in an interview.
  4. Check the structure with the free ATS checker, then export a PDF.
