Creating Resumes That Get Interviews

What Makes a Great Resume?

A resume is a marketing document—its job is to get you an interview, not tell your life story. Recruiters spend an average of 6-7 seconds on initial screening. Your resume must communicate your value proposition instantly, pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), and give hiring managers reasons to want to learn more about you. It's about strategic communication, not comprehensive documentation.

Essential Resume Sections

Contact Information

Name, phone, email, LinkedIn, portfolio. City and state (no full address needed). Make sure links work.

Professional Summary (Optional)

2-3 sentences summarizing your experience and value. Tailor to each job. Skip if early-career.

Work Experience

Company, title, dates, and 3-5 achievement bullets. Use action verbs. Quantify results when possible.

Skills

Technical skills, tools, certifications. Match keywords from job descriptions. Avoid soft skills lists.

Education

Degree, institution, graduation year. GPA if recent grad and strong. Relevant coursework or honors.

Writing Powerful Achievement Bullets

Use the PAR (Problem-Action-Result) or STAR format:

❌ "Responsible for managing social media accounts"

✓ "Grew Instagram following from 5K to 50K in 8 months, driving 40% increase in website traffic"

•Start with strong action verbs: Led, Built, Reduced, Increased, Launched, Optimized
•Quantify whenever possible: $, %, time saved, users served, team size
•Focus on outcomes, not just activities: What changed because of your work?

Beating the ATS

Applicant Tracking Systems scan resumes for keywords before humans see them. To pass the ATS:

•Mirror keywords from the job description (skills, tools, titles)
•Use standard section headings ("Work Experience" not "My Journey")
•Avoid tables, columns, headers/footers, and graphics that confuse parsers
•Submit as .docx or .pdf depending on what the application requests

💡 One Resume Doesn't Fit All

The most effective resumes are tailored to specific job postings. Keep a "master resume" with all your experience, then create targeted versions that emphasize relevant skills and achievements for each role. It takes more effort, but dramatically improves your response rate.
