Recruiters skim dozens of near-identical resumes, so blending in is the real risk. A few deliberate choices make yours impossible to overlook.
Lead with impact
Put your strongest, most relevant achievement near the top where a six-second skim will catch it.
Tailor, always
A resume aligned to the specific job, using its language and priorities, beats a polished generic one every time.
Quick tips
- Open with a strong achievement
- Tailor content to each job
- Use clean, scannable formatting
- Cut anything that doesn't add value
