1. Choose a role-specific headline
Your resume title should match the target role. It is the first signal for ATS and recruiters.
If you switch roles (e.g. product vs marketing), use a different headline and summary.
2. Prioritize relevant skills
Start by listing key skills from the job post.
Place them in the skills section and inside experience bullets.
- Keep 8 to 12 skills visible.
- Put tools and methods near the top.
- Remove off-target skills.
3. Reorder experiences
Not all experiences carry equal weight for a role.
Lead with the missions that prove fit for the job.
4. Keep a base + variants
Build a strong base, then create variants per role.
You save time while staying precise and targeted.
