Know anybody looking for a job right now? The @placement team is sharing everything we know about writing resumes that work.
We wrote a monster guide and are giving the whole thing away for FREE. https://www.placement.com/learn/how-to-write-a-resume
The most important thing to remember when writing your resume is that you have three stakeholders:
1. The ATS robot scanning you
2. The recruiter screening you
3. The hiring manager scoring you
Your resume needs to work for all three!

2. The recruiter screening you
3. The hiring manager scoring you
Your resume needs to work for all three!
All three of these stakeholders care about the same general things:
1. Is it easy to read?
2. Is your experience and education relevant?
3. Do you have the right skills?
Each uses slightly different heuristics, but you can optimize for all at the same time.

As a word to the wise, none of these stakeholders want to read jargon-laden sentence fragments.
If you read your bullet points out loud and say, "I don't know what it means, but it sounds good!" please, for the love of all that is good, delete it immediately.

Every piece of content on your resume is fair game for an interviewer to ask you a question.
So you should be ready and armed with a strong story for each bullet point on your resume.
If you don't want an interviewer to ask about it, don't put it on there.

Resume optimization can feel like a deep, dark rabbit hole. But I promise you that this is not rocket science.
