Resume writing guides

Short, specific guides for the decisions that change whether a resume gets read: what a parser can extract, how to write a first resume with no experience, and which verbs actually claim something.

  • The resume checklist that decides whether a parser can read youA practical ATS checklist: document structure, headings, dates, skills and file format, plus how to test your own resume before applying.
  • How to write a resume when you have no experienceA structure for a first resume: which sections to use, how to turn coursework and part-time work into evidence, and what to leave off.
  • Action verbs for resumes, grouped by what the bullet actually claimsResume action verbs by category — built, improved, led, analysed, supported — with examples of weak bullets rewritten to lead with evidence.

Score your own resume before you send it

The checker runs the same analysis as the editor: parse safety, completeness, impact, and optional keyword match. No account needed for the first score.
