Summary

The summary section talks about you in a concise manner. This section is a must in all resumes and gives the recruiter a complete snapshot of who you are as a professional.

• Start with an adjective that describes you, like enthusiastic, dedicated, accomplished.
• Follow it up with your job title and your years of experience in the profession (4+, 6, 9).
• Make the next sentence about one or two of your biggest job-specific achievements.

Professional Experience

Go with the reverse-chronological resume order and list your most recent job first. Pick achievements over simply reporting on duties and responsibilities.

• Demonstrate your achievements in bullets. Start each bullet with an action word like developed, optimized, created, enhanced, improved.
• Quantify each entry whenever possible with numbers, percentages, and amounts.
• Make the next sentence about one or two of your biggest job-specific achievements.

Pro Tip: Remember to tailor your resume using Hiration’s JD-CV “Job-match” so that your past experience & accomplishments are related to the company’s needs and wants.

Key Skills

Key skills are talents and expertise you develop to perform a task or job. Examine the job and look for both obvious and hidden resume keywords.

• The key skills should be in alignment with the type of work you have done and highlight your learning from it.
• Revisit your experience section to make sure your best skills are demonstrated there as well.

Pro Tip: Use Hirations’s AI Review to check how strong is your resume and how to improve it.

Use this section to mention important educational milestones and degree courses you have or are currently pursuing.

• Be sure to include the following information: Name of institution, Degree type, Year of intended graduation
