Resume examples
Complete resumes, not fragments. Each one comes with the plain text a parser recovers from it and a short explanation of the choices in it — which is the part that is actually worth reading, and the part a generated example cannot have.
Every example is invented. Names, employers and numbers are made up, because a real resume is somebody’s personal data.
Technology
Software Developer
Six years of backend work, written so the results are readable without knowing the systems.
Data Analyst
Analysis is worth a bullet when a decision came out of it — every one here does.
Healthcare
Registered Nurse
Clinical work written with the volume and the outcome together, and licences first.
Finance
Accountant
A traditional field, written traditionally — and quantified anyway.
Financial Analyst
Analysis written so the decision it informed is visible, not just the model that produced it.
Operations
Project Manager
Scope, budget and date on every project, because those are the three questions.
Customer Service Representative
Support work written with the volume and the outcome together, so the scale of it is readable.
Administrative Assistant
Coordination work written as outcomes rather than as a list of duties, which is the hard part of this one.
Human Resources Manager
People work quantified without reducing anybody to a number, which is the line this one walks.
Retail Store Manager
Store management written as a P&L, because that is what the role is once you are running one.
Education
Teacher
Cohort sizes, subjects and results — the three things a head of department checks.
Sales
Sales Representative
Quota, attainment, and what was actually sold — stated without hedging.
Early career
Graduate with no work experience
The hardest case, and the one most examples skip: a first resume with no employment history at all.
Marketing
Marketing Manager
Campaign work with the spend beside the result, because one without the other means nothing.
Engineering
Mechanical Engineer
Design work written with the constraint it was solved under, which is what engineering judgement looks like on paper.
Creative
Graphic Designer
A creative resume that stays single-column and plain, because the portfolio is where the design goes.
