1. Lead with impact, not duties
Each bullet should describe what you delivered, not what you did. Use numbers — revenue, time saved, conversion %, NPS.
2. Match the job's keywords
Recruiters scan for skills mentioned in the job post. Mirror their language naturally throughout your resume.
3. Keep it one page (mostly)
Under 5 years experience? One page. Senior roles? Two pages max. Cut anything older than 10 years unless directly relevant.
4. Skip the photo & address
In India most ATS prefer a clean text resume. City + state is enough — full address is not needed anymore.
5. Proofread twice
Typos kill credibility. Read it out loud and have one trusted friend review before applying.
