Open the PDF and confirm that you can select and copy the text in the correct order. Check that job titles, company names, dates, headings, and bullet points remain readable. You can then run the exported document through the ATS Resume Checker.

Many early-career professionals can use one page, while experienced or senior candidates may need two pages. Prioritize relevance rather than forcing a specific length. Remove outdated, repetitive, or low-value information that does not support the target role.

Common sections include contact information, professional summary, work experience, skills, education, certifications, and relevant projects. Use standard headings so applicant tracking systems and recruiters can quickly recognize each section.
