Your English resume is often the first impression you make on international employers. Here is how to make it count.
Use Action Verbs
Start bullet points with strong verbs: “Managed,” “Developed,” “Implemented,” “Led”
Quantify Achievements
Instead of “Increased sales,” write “Increased sales by 30% in 6 months”
Keep It Concise
One page for every 10 years of experience. Recruiters spend 6 seconds scanning a resume.
Common Resume Mistakes
- Using “I” in bullet points (omit the subject)
- Inconsistent verb tenses (use past tense for past jobs)
- Spelling errors (proofread THREE times)
