How to write a resume
Build around the job you want. Select the roles, projects and skills that give the clearest evidence of your fit. One page can work for a short career; two may be useful when relevant experience needs the space. Length is a decision about relevance, not a universal rule.
Professional summary
Summarise your experience, strongest skills and what you are aiming for.
Achievements
Consider adding measurable results. Automated weekly reporting, reducing preparation time by 40%.
Which file should I send?
Follow the employer’s instructions. PDF usually preserves the intended appearance. DOCX is useful when an editable Word file is requested. Both contain real text and clickable links.
