Hoe Write a Resume

Create a professional resume that lands interviews

⚑Snel Antwoord

Use reverse-chronological format. Lead with strong summary. Quantify achievements with numbers. Include job description keywords for ATS.

Stap-voor-Stap Gids

1

Choose the Right Format

Use reverse-chronological format (most recent job first). Keep it to 1 page for <10 years experience, 2 pages max.

πŸ’‘Gebruik clean fonts (Arial, Calibri), 10-12pt size, consistent margins.
2

Write a Strong Summary

Start with 2-3 sentences highlighting your experience level, key skills, and career goal. Customize for each job!

πŸ’‘Replace objective statements with achievement-focused summaries.
3

Quantify Your Achievements

Use action verbs and numbers: 'Increased sales by 35%' beats 'Responsible for sales'. Show impact, not duties.

πŸ’‘Start bullets with verbs: Led, Created, Improved, Managed, Developed.
4

Optimize for ATS

Include keywords from the job description. Use standard section headers (Experience, Education, Skills). No images or fancy formatting.

πŸ’‘Many companies use Applicant Tracking Systems - simple formatting wins.

Veelgestelde Vragen

Moet ik include every job I've had?

Nee, focus on relevant experience. Jobs older than 10-15 years can be summarized or omitted.

Heb ik nodig a cover letter?

If the job posting asks for one, yes. A good cover letter can set you apart.

Moet ik include references?

Nee, save space. 'References available upon request' is also unnecessary.
