Layout and content guidance

Layout
Single-column, ATS-safe layout with a strong evidence block near the top and no tables, photos, icons, rating bars, or decorative sidebars.
Font
Use a professional sans-serif font that stays readable in PDF and ATS parsing. Keep the body around 10-11 pt, the name around 19-22 pt, and section headings compact and uppercase.
Recommended headings
Professional Summary, Skills, Experience, Selected Projects, Education

Section-by-section notes

Professional Summary

Keep this to 2-3 lines. Anchor seniority, domain, stack, and one measurable business or systems outcome.

Skills

Group skills by how recruiters search for this role. Keep only skills you can defend in an interview.

Experience

Put the most relevant production ownership first. Each bullet should name the system, scale, and result.

Selected Projects

Use projects only when they prove current skills not obvious from work history.

Education

Keep education concise for experienced engineers unless the degree is a core requirement.

Common mistakes

  • Listing every technology ever used instead of the stack requested by target roles
  • Writing team accomplishments without clarifying the candidate's ownership
  • Skipping reliability, scale, latency, cost, or user impact metrics
