Mirror Job Keywords

Use the exact language from the job description. If they say "Customer Success," don't use "Account Management."

Quantify Everything

Numbers catch the eye. Replace "improved performance" with "boosted efficiency by 25% across 10 departments."

Lead with Your Best

The first 3 bullets of each role should be your strongest matches for the specific job you're applying for.

Action-Oriented Verbs

Start every bullet with a powerful verb: Architected, Orchestrated, Propelled, or Reduced.

Less is More

Remove experience that doesn't relate to the target role. A focused 1-page resume beats a generic 3-page one.
