Company Name #2 Oct. 2017 – Jul. 2023
- Job Title (can slightly tweak titles to better match what you’re applying for – no one will find out or care) City, ST
- Lead with a company overview to borrow validity from the company’s numbers to anchor the screener on something super impressive. E.g., sales, market cap, Fortune 500 status, # of users, # of employees, $ raised, etc.
- As [role], I [responsibilities that match the job description, including some high-level numbers if impressive].
- Key Results: Use subbullets sparingly to list quantifiable results for specific projects or responsibilities.
- E.g., revenue, cost savings, man hours saved, partners onboarded, customers/users, review rating, etc.
- Sub-bullets are for more detail if needed, like KPIs, your tech stack, notable clients, or project examples.
Company Name #3 (you can remove months across the entire resume to hide work gaps) Month Year – Month Year
- Job Title City, ST (or just put Remote)
- Core responsibility #1 / key results / high level summary. I like ending bullet points with periods vs without.
- Core responsibility #2. Don’t feel the need to write too much about jobs from over 5 years in the past.
Company Where You Had 2 or More Roles Month Year – Month Year
- Most Recent Job Title | Month, Year – Present City, ST
- If you’ve been promoted / have held multiple titles at one company, put dates in italics next to each title like so.
- Core responsibility #2. As the jobs get older in your timeline, they’re less relevant and need fewer bullet points.
Prior Job Title | Month, Year – Month Year
- Prior to my promotion to [recent title], I…[ core responsibility #1]. Older job, less relevancy, 1 bullet is fine.
Company Name #5 Month Year – Month Year
- Job Title City, ST
- Core responsibility #1. For past jobs with zero or little relevance, save space by skipping any bullet points.
EDUCATION
University Name Graduation Month, Year
- Degree (e.g., Bachelor of Science), Major (e.g., Computer Science) City, ST
- GPA: 3.X/4.0 (list only if GPA is over 3.3); Summa Cum Laude; Economics Honors Society; Dean’s List
- Any other fun stuff like a minor, varsity sports, fraternity/sorority, or something that gives you a little color.
CERTIFICATIONS, SKILLS & INTERESTS
- Certifications: If you have relevant ones; otherwise, delete this bullet + delete CERTIFICATIONS above.
- Technologies: If you have a lot of hard skills vs soft skills, you can break them out into two different bullets.
- Skills (plug in your own and rearrange depending on role): Strategic Planning; Brand Marketing; Copywriting; Hiring
- Interests (makes them see you as human): Weightlifting; Composting; Yoga; Traveling; Fishing; Reddit; Seinfeld
