## Tips for using this template  

1. **Tailor for ATS** – Use standard headings (e.g., “Professional Summary,” “Work Experience”) and avoid graphics or tables that can confuse parsers.  
2. **Incorporate keywords** – Mirror language from the job posting; include exact skill names, tools, and certifications the employer lists.  
3. **Quantify achievements** – Numbers (percentages, dollar amounts, time saved) make impact clear and improve keyword relevance.  
4. **Keep it concise** – Aim for 1‑2 pages; remove older or irrelevant roles that don’t support your target position.  
5. **Use strong action verbs** – Begin every bullet with a verb such as *Led, Developed, Streamlined, Implemented, Negotiated,* etc.  
6. **Consistent formatting** – Use the same date format, bullet style, and font size throughout.  
7. **Proofread** – Typos and inconsistent punctuation can cause ATS to misread content and reduce credibility.  

*Replace all bracketed placeholders with your own information and adjust bullet points to reflect your unique experience.*
