- Start with a clear headline: state your target role and years of experience in one line.
- Summarize your value in 2-3 sentences: what problems you solve, for whom and with what measurable results.
- Use achievements, not just tasks: "Reduced load time by 40%" works better than "Maintained the website".
- Order from most recent to oldest for both experience and education.
- Tailor skills to each job post: include keywords from the listing without inventing competencies.
- Check contact details and links: a professional email and an up-to-date LinkedIn build trust.
CVs and ATS systems
Applicant Tracking Systems parse your resume before a human sees it. That is why a simple design with real text instead of images or graphics, and a clear section structure, performs best.
minute.tools templates avoid complex tables, nested columns and decorative elements that confuse parsers. That does not mean your CV looks plain — it means it is more likely to reach the interview stage.
