Tips for a great resume

• Keep it short: 1 page if you have under 10 years of experience, 2 pages maximum after that.
• Use action verbs: start every achievement with words like Led, Built, Increased, Reduced, Delivered.
• Add numbers: "reduced costs by 30%" is far stronger than "reduced costs".
• Match the job ad: ATS software scans for keywords - use the same terms the posting uses.
• Photo rules by country: Canada, USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand expect NO photo. Germany, France, the UAE, India and the EU (Europass) normally include one.
• Personal details: date of birth and nationality are normal in the UAE, Germany, France, India and EU CVs - leave them out for Canada, USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
• Name your file well: save the PDF as Firstname_Lastname_Resume.pdf.
• Tailor the title: change your job title line to match the role you are applying for.
• Cut old jobs: focus on the last 10 years; older roles get one line at most.
• Proofread: ask someone to read it before you send it - typos cost interviews.
