120 Curriculum Vitae Curriculum Vitae/ Resume Examples
#1 Use a Clear, Professional Format Keep the layout clean with consistent fonts, headings, and spacing. Use bullet points for readability and avoid unnecessary graphics unless you’re in a design field.
#2 Preserve Formatting When using a modern or creative resume/ curriculum vitae, save it as a PDF to keep the formatting in place.
#3 Chronological Resume Format vs. Functional Resume Format A chronological resume lists work experience in reverse order, showing career progression and is best for consistent work history in the same field. A functional resume emphasizes skills and abilities over employment dates, ideal for career changers, those with employment gaps, or to highlight unique qualifications.
#4 Start with a Strong Summary Write a 2–3 sentence summary at the top that highlights your professional background, key strengths, and what you’re seeking. Make your first impression count!
#5 Make Your Resume/ CV ATS Friendly Include industry-specific keywords and phrases found in the job description to your resume.
#6 Focus on Results, Not Just Duties Be sure to add accomplishments that benefited your team, department and/ or company (especially with numbers and percentages %). Describe what you accomplished rather than listing tasks.
#7 Use Action Verbs Start bullet points with dynamic verbs like led, improved, developed, reduced, launched, etc to your curriculum vitae.
