Your résumé should make it easy for employers to see why you’re a strong fit. A clear, simple format can help your most relevant skills and experience stand out quickly. Start with clear section headings so hiring managers can find what they need. Lead with skills that connect directly to the role you want. Keep formatting simple and easy to read, especially if your résumé may be reviewed by applicant tracking systems. Focus on recent experience and accomplishments that show what you can contribute now. You can also use AI to help refine your résumé. Try prompts like these: • “Review my résumé and suggest ways to make it easier for a hiring manager to scan.” • “Based on this job description, which skills from my résumé should I highlight near the top?” • “Rewrite this bullet to focus more clearly on accomplishments and impact.” • “Check my résumé for formatting issues that could make it harder for an applicant tracking system to read.”
