Quick wins
Practical advice from hiring managers and career coaches. These tips apply whether you're 16 or 60.
Start every bullet point with a strong verb: Led, Built, Managed, Increased, Reduced. Never write 'Responsible for' - it's weak and passive.
Numbers stand out. 'Served 50+ customers per shift' is stronger than 'Served customers.' Even rough estimates are better than nothing.
For students and entry-level applicants, one page is the rule. Hiring managers spend 7 seconds on a first scan. Make every line count.
Many companies use ATS software that filters resumes before a human sees them. Mirror the exact language from the job description.
Read your resume aloud before submitting. You'll catch awkward phrasing and typos your eyes skip over when reading silently.
If you've helped at a food bank, organized a school event, or coached a youth team - that's real experience. List it under volunteer work.
