Start with evidence, not decoration

Collect accurate contact details, a focused profile, recent experience, education and relevant skills. For each role, explain what you owned and what changed because of your work.

Use numbers only when you can support them. Clear scope, scale and outcomes are more useful than generic claims.

Build a consistent reading order

For most candidates, contact details, profile, experience, education, skills and languages form a reliable order. Use familiar headings and keep dates close to the role they describe.

Tailor, export and verify

Compare the draft with the job description and reuse terminology only when it truthfully represents your experience. Export the PDF, inspect every page and copy its text to confirm that the reading order remains usable.
