Employers often use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to scan resumes, giving job candidates a passing grade based on the resume’s content. This means that presenting a “clean” resume that ATS can understand is crucial. An ATS-friendly professional resume should include:

• The appropriate section headings, such as resume summary, skills and work history.
• Easy-to-read fonts.
• Straightforward design with no complicated charts, graphs or symbols.
• Keywords from the job description.

The resume templates our resume maker uses are specifically designed to ensure ATS will understand your resume. Our content suggestions will help you write a resume that contains the right info to get past an ATS scan.

The length of your resume will depend on your level of experience. A professional resume should be one to two pages long. If you’re a student, recent graduate or an entry-level professional, it’s OK for your resume to only be one page. But if you have several years of relevant experience, you can organize your qualifications into two pages.

A good resume objective, also known as a career objective, explains why you’re the best fit for a job and your career goals. It’s a two to three sentence summary that answers:

• Who you are
• Your years of experience (if any)
• Your career goal
• Your top skills

However, not everyone needs to write a resume objective. An objective is useful if you’re a first-time job seeker, changing careers, or if you’re applying for a goal-oriented job. For other job opportunities, a summary statement will help you more.

Our general advice is to outline your last 10 years of work experience in your professional resume unless you’re applying for a job that requires even more experience. Employers usually prefer resumes that are two pages long, at most.
