Resume Writing
Use Action Verbs
Start each bullet with a strong verb: Led, Built, Improved, Designed, Negotiated. Avoid 'Responsible for' or 'Was in charge of'.
Quantify Results
Instead of 'Improved sales', write 'Increased sales by 35% in six months'. Numbers make your impact tangible.
Tailor to the Role
Customize your resume for each application. Use keywords from the job description to pass applicant tracking systems.
Keep It Concise
One page for under 10 years of experience. Two pages maximum. Every line should earn its place.
Cover Letter Structure
Opening: State the role you are applying for and why you are excited about it.
Body 1: Highlight 1-2 key achievements that directly relate to the role. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
Body 2: Show that you have researched the company. Mention something specific about their work that aligns with your skills.
Closing: Reiterate your interest and include a call to action. "I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team."
LinkedIn Profile Tips
Headline
Don't just list your title. Describe what you do and who you help. 'Helping teams ship better software' is stronger than 'Software Engineer'.
About Section
Lead with your value proposition in the first two lines. Use the rest to tell your career story with specific achievements.
Experience Bullets
Same principles as your resume — action verbs, quantified results, tailored language. Keep each bullet to one line.
Recommendations
Ask colleagues and clients to write specific recommendations. They build social proof and boost your profile.
