You should customize your resume to each job you’re applying for. Tailoring your resume will show you’re not just mass-sending the same document to hundreds of job offers. The easiest way to make a targeted resume, is to duplicate your resume document inside Enhancv app, update the job title, and resume summary according to the job description, and use our Resume Tailoring feature. It will show the resume skills and resume keywords you missed to include in your resume, pulled from the job description.

An ATS-friendly resume is one that will be readable by Applicant Tracking Systems. This is a special software that scans application documents for necessary information, such as what skills and job titles you have had. It’s essentially a pre-screening process for companies with thousands of applicants. ATS is more about what you write in the document rather than the file format (most software can perfectly read PDFs). So, if you want to build an ATS-friendly resume, follow simple rules, such as standard naming convention of your sections, as well as sending a tailored resume.

In 2024, it’s best to use a template that is modern and people remember. Our resume builder has templates that accomplish exactly that. You’ll be able to demonstrate culture fit, showcase your personal strengths and key professional drivers in addition to your skills. You’re also able to entirely customize your template - including location and order of sections, fonts , colors , backgrounds and margins . The whole content is reorganized so that it still fits on the same number of pages you have.

The best resume format to use in 2024 depends on your career situation. The most recognized one is certainly the reverse-chronological resume . It displays your work history from the most recent, to the oldest job title you had. Recruiters prefer it because they care mostly about your latest accomplishments. Depending on your career situation, you can also pick:

• Resume, CV and Cover Letter Builder;
• Functional resume : this format focuses mainly on your skills, whereas work experience takes the backstage.
• Hybrid or combination resume : a mix of both functional and reverse-chronological resume formats.
• Video resumes : this type of resume gained popularity recently with the rise of video platforms, such as TikTok. Great for creative or tech industries, but unless the job description says otherwise, it should come with a regular resume document.

Your resume can consist of several sections, not all of them being necessary. Your final resume outline will depend on the company you’re applying to, your own personality, as well as career situation. Here’s what you should put in your resume in 2024:

• Contact information with a link to your LinkedIn profile
• Resume profile
• Work experience
• Education ( GPA and Relevant Coursework being optional)
• Professional skills (list each hard skill as is, and embed soft skills throughout your experience)
• Certifications

Optional resume sections include:

• Hobbies and interests
• Volunteering
• Internships
• Awards
• Languages
• Projects
• Publications
• References

Within our resume builder app, you’ll get advice how to make each of those sections, and you’ll get generated content that’s relevant to your years of experience and the job you’re applying for.

At the end of the day, you should end up with a one-page-long resume document. Sometimes, length will also vary - check what’s the best one here . And, if you’re keen on starting from scratch, read our guide on how to write a resume to fully nail the process.
