A modern resume structure that gets interviews

Recruiters scan fast. A predictable structure makes the important parts obvious and keeps your story easy to follow.

The one-page layout that works

Use this order for most roles:

1. Header with name, role, location, and links.
2. Summary with a single value proposition.
3. Experience with impact-first bullet points.
4. Skills grouped by theme.
5. Education and certifications.

Bullet points that show impact

Keep each bullet focused on outcomes:

• Start with an action verb.
• Add scope or scale.
• Close with the measurable result.

Quick checklist

• One strong summary, not a paragraph.
• 4 to 6 bullets per role.
• Consistent dates and formatting.
