Resume Guide

A strong resume should prove capability, clarity, and business impact in less than a minute of reading time.

Recommended structure

  • Headline: role focus + years of experience + domain strengths.
  • Experience: achievements with concrete metrics and responsibilities.
  • Projects: architecture, constraints, tools, and measurable outcomes.
  • Skills: grouped by practical usage, not alphabetical keyword dumping.

What to show for GenAI and Agentic AI roles

  • Evaluation quality signals such as accuracy, relevance, or task completion.
  • Latency and cost trade-offs you made and why they mattered.
  • Reliability and safety controls for agent behavior and tool calls.

ATS and recruiter readability

  • Use clean section headers and standard role titles.
  • Tailor core keywords based on the target role requirements.
  • Avoid dense paragraphs; use concise bullet points with outcomes.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Listing too many tools without showing what was built with them.
  • Using vague impact statements with no numeric evidence.
  • Submitting the same resume to every role without tailoring.
