The fastest ways to improve your resume
Not all resume improvements are created equal. These changes deliver the biggest impact for the least effort:
1. Add numbers to every job description (30 minutes)
Go through each role and add at least one metric. Budget size, team size, percentage improvements, revenue generated, time saved — anything quantifiable.
2. Write a strong summary (15 minutes)
Add 3 sentences at the top: your role/experience level, your key expertise, and what you bring to the table. Include 2-3 keywords for your target role.
3. Customize for your target role (20 minutes)
Copy the job description. Highlight key requirements. Make sure each one is addressed somewhere in your resume.
