Template tips

How to get the best result

Write for the role

Tailor your summary, skills and bullets to the job description instead of sending the same resume everywhere.

Keep bullets specific

Use action verbs, numbers and outcomes where possible so recruiters can understand your impact quickly.

Check readability

Use the resume score and preview to catch long bullets, missing keywords and layout issues before exporting.

Use this template well

  • Place education, research, projects or publications high if they are central to the application.
  • Use clear dates and institution names.
  • Keep formatting conservative and let content carry the strength of the resume.
