How to Optimize Your Private Sector Resume

Your resume must be AI-compatible—most companies scan resumes to filter applicants automatically.  

✅Begin with an impactful professional summary crystallizing your experience.

✅We recommend adding an experience/skills section with keywords related to job requirements, i.e., AI, Computer Security, Infrastructure, Maintenance, Programming Languages, Technical Savy, Leadership, and Computer Training.

✅Compile a brief job description with no more than 2–3 lines.

✅Focus on bulleting or using headlines using a verb to describe your challenge, contact, action, and result.

✅Repeat for the rest of your jobs. Keep it clear, concise, and focus on your top qualifications, skills, and accomplishments. Use metrics if possible.

✅List education, certifications, and training along with schools or programs attended.

✅Don’t go over two pages—it will never get read.

✅Proofread, proofread, proofread!

✅ Use a one-inch margin (top/bottom) and 12-point font for best readability.

✅ Avoid excessive graphics or complex designs—balance white space for easy scanning.
