What Should You Include on Your Resume?

Contact Information

Your full name, phone number, email address, and city/state. A LinkedIn URL is optional but common for most industries.

Professional Summary

A 2–3 sentence overview of your experience and what you bring to the role. Tailor it to the specific job whenever possible.

Work Experience

List your roles in reverse-chronological order with your title, employer, dates, and 2–4 bullet points showing what you did and achieved. See how this looks filled in on our resume examples by job title.

Education

Your degree, school, and graduation year. Recent graduates can include relevant coursework; experienced candidates can keep this brief.

Skills

A focused list of skills relevant to the job you're applying for, ideally pulled from the language used in the actual job description.

Build an ATS-Friendly Resume

Most employers use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to scan and organize resumes before a person ever reviews them. Standard section headings like Experience and Education, clear formatting, and readable fonts all help an ATS correctly parse your information. It also helps to include specific skills and keywords pulled directly from the job description you're applying to, since many systems match resumes against the language in the posting. No resume builder can guarantee a resume will pass every ATS, since every employer's system works differently, but starting from a clean, well-structured template gives your resume a real advantage.

Choose the Right Resume Template

The right resume template depends on your industry and experience level. A professional resume template with a traditional layout works well for corporate and finance roles. A modern resume template adds a bit of color for marketing, tech, and creative-adjacent fields. A simple resume template keeps the focus on your content with minimal design. An executive resume template suits senior leadership candidates, and a creative resume template helps designers and portfolio-based professionals stand out. All ten templates are available above — pick a template card to switch styles instantly.

Create a Matching Cover Letter

Once your resume is ready, create a matching cover letter using the same fonts, colors, and style. Our free cover letter builder automatically pulls your contact details from your resume, so both documents look like one polished, cohesive package.
