Impact-driven bullets, metrics
Each bullet follows format: Action + What + Result/Impact. Numbers/metrics included (at least 50% of bullets).
1-2 pages, consistent spacing
Total length: 1-2 pages maximum. Margins: 0.5-1 inch on all sides. Font size: 10-12pt for body text.
Spell check, read aloud
Read resume aloud to catch awkward phrasing. Have someone else proofread (fresh eyes catch errors). Test all links.
Congratulations! You have completed all the steps in the Resume Optimization playbook.
