Tips for best results

• Tailor each resume to the job description — mirror key phrases and required skills.
• Keep length appropriate: 1 page for early-career; 2 pages for extensive experience.
• Prioritize achievements: Lead bullets with outcomes and metrics (e.g., “Increased sales 20%”).
• Use simple fonts: Stick to system fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Georgia for ATS reliability.
• Check spacing and margins before exporting to PDF to avoid truncation.
