Six things that separate resumes that get interviews from resumes that don't.
Generic resumes get rejected. Match keywords from the job posting — ATS systems score keyword density heavily.
Replace "helped improve sales" with "increased sales by 34% over 6 months." Numbers get attention.
Under 3 years experience: 1 page. 3+ years: 2 pages max. Recruiters spend 7 seconds on a resume.
No tables, no columns, no headers/footers, no graphics. Many ATS systems cannot parse these.
Led, Drove, Built, Launched, Scaled, Reduced, Generated — verbs that show impact and ownership.
For tech roles, skills first. For new grads, education first. For experienced hires, experience first.
