Resume writing examples

The Difference Between Listing Duties and Showing Impact

Many resumes describe what someone was responsible for. Stronger resumes also explain the contribution they made.

Before

Responsibility-Focused

"Responsible for managing customer accounts, answering inquiries and maintaining client relationships."

The reader knows the general duties, but little about the person's contribution.

After

Achievement-Focused

"Managed 75 client accounts, streamlined customer response processes and contributed to a 12% improvement in client retention."

The revised example communicates scope, specific actions and measurable results.

Illustrative example only. Your resume should contain accurate, verifiable information.

Modern resume writing

ATS-Friendly Resume Writing for Today's Job Market

Many employers use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to collect and organize job applications.

Although these systems differ, a clear resume structure and relevant terminology can make your qualifications easier to interpret.

Our resume writing approach emphasizes readability, appropriate keywords and professional organization rather than complicated formatting.

  • Recognizable section headings
  • Clear job titles and employment dates
  • Relevant professional terminology
  • Accurate skills and qualifications
  • Concise, achievement-focused bullets
  • Readable formatting

The result is a resume designed to communicate effectively to both people and recruitment systems.

No resume can guarantee a particular ATS ranking, interview or job offer.
