PRYDIN / CAREER RESOURCES

A resume that works for software and people.

Applicant tracking systems vary. A clear, conventional resume helps employers and many systems read your background, but no formatting choice guarantees a shortlist.

Learn how to write an ATS-friendly resume using readable formatting, relevant experience and job-description keywords—without misleading claims or keyword stuffing.

01

Keep your structure straightforward

Use recognisable headings such as Experience, Education and Skills. Choose clean text-based formatting and check that a PDF exports with selectable text.

02

Tailor to the specific role

Read the job description and include skills and responsibilities that genuinely match your background. Do not claim tools or achievements you cannot substantiate.

03

Write evidence-based bullet points

Describe what you did and why it mattered. Where relevant, add truthful measures such as time saved, project size or operational improvements.

04

Focus on relevance

Prioritise recent, relevant experience and use clear dates and job titles. Avoid filling space with unrelated buzzwords.

05

Proofread before applying

Check contact details, links, tense consistency and role-specific terminology. Review the final document on mobile and desktop.
