How to write a resume

Lead with impact: action verb + what you did + outcome (prefer numbers).
Mirror keywords from the job description without keyword stuffing.
Keep formatting consistent: dates, punctuation, and heading styles.
Proofread aloud; one typo can sink an otherwise strong resume.

ATS tips

Use standard section titles (Experience, Education, Skills).
Avoid tables, text boxes, and multi-column layouts for critical content.
Export as PDF unless the employer requests Word.
Run Rize's ATS checker against the job description before submitting.

Resume examples

Browse major-specific starting points from the Samples menu in the nav (e.g. Computer Science, Business, Engineering). Each sample page links to the template picker so you can build fast.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best resume format for tech jobs?

A clean single-column layout with clear section headings, measurable bullets, and a skills line that mirrors the job description tends to perform well for both ATS and humans.

Is Jake's Resume template ATS friendly?

Yes—when you keep standard headings and avoid complex graphics, Jake-style LaTeX templates are typically ATS-parseable. Always export to PDF and run our ATS checker before you apply.

How many pages should my resume be?

Most students and early-career candidates should aim for one page. If you have several years of strong, relevant experience, two pages can be OK for some roles.

What should I include in my technical skills section?

Group skills by category (Languages, Frameworks, Tools/Cloud) and align them with the job posting. Prefer specifics over vague buzzwords.

Can I use Rize for non-tech resumes?

Absolutely. The editor is flexible—swap sections, rename headings, and tailor bullets to your industry.

How does the AI bullet rewrite work?

You provide context and a bullet; we return a tighter, impact-focused rewrite. Usage counts against your monthly AI quota based on your plan.
