How to write a resume that gets shortlisted
Structure your resume with clear sections, quantify achievements, and tailor skills to each role.
Resume · 6 min read
Recruiters spend less than 10 seconds on the first scan of a resume. Lead with a crisp summary, your most relevant skills, and measurable impact from recent roles.
Use a clean one-page format for early career profiles and two pages only when you have 8+ years of experience. Avoid graphics-heavy templates that break ATS parsers.
Quantify results wherever possible: revenue influenced, users served, tickets resolved, or percentage improvements. Numbers stand out in a pile of generic bullet points.
Tailor your resume for each application. Mirror keywords from the job description in your skills and experience sections — without keyword stuffing.
Upload your final PDF to your Job Hiring Point profile so employers can download it when you apply.
