What actually makes a resume get read
A resume has one job: survive the first six-second glance and earn a proper read. That means the layout has to guide the eye to the right things in the right order, before a single word of content matters.
Structure before wording
Recruiters scan for a shape before they read for content: name and title, a short summary, then a column of dated roles they can skim top to bottom. Both layouts here follow that shape — the modern one puts contact details and skills in a fixed sidebar so they're always visible, while the classic layout keeps everything in one column for applicant tracking systems that struggle to parse multi-column PDFs. If you're applying through a large company's online portal, the classic layout is usually the safer bet.
Writing the experience section
- Lead each bullet with what changed, not what you were responsible for — "cut onboarding time by 30%" beats "responsible for onboarding".
- Keep bullets to one line where possible. Three tight bullets per role read better than six sprawling ones.
- Order roles by recency, and trim detail on anything older than ten years — that history matters less than what you did last.
- Match a few words to the job posting for roles you're actively applying to, since many companies still keyword-scan before a human reads it.
The summary is a pitch, not a biography
Two or three sentences is enough: what you do, the kind of impact you've had, and what you're looking for next. Skip phrases like "hardworking team player" — they say nothing a recruiter hasn't read a thousand times. Naming a specific skill, industry, or result does more work in the same space.
Before you export
- Check the preview at actual size — a font that looks fine zoomed in can feel cramped on a printed page.
- Keep it to one page unless you have ten or more years of relevant experience.
- Save the PDF with your name in the filename; "resume.pdf" gets lost fast in a recruiter's inbox.
Once the layout, colors, and content feel right in the preview above, the Download button produces the exact same document as a ready-to-send PDF.
