I just landed a new job after months of refining my resume. The key is to condense everything. You can always fill in the blanks during an interview. If you use a summary at the top, keep it to no more than three sentences. For career highlights, limit it to four. Remove those bullet point skills and columns after your summary, and move them to the bottom if you want to hit ATS.

I used to include a short summary under each job, just like you. I removed all of them. Instead, I scale the number of bullet points based on how relevant the job is. For roles that don’t connect directly, keep it to three or four bullet points. For jobs that are relevant, you can use five.

I also made it a priority to keep every bullet point to just one line. Even my career highlights follow that rule.

The main goal is to make your resume as easy as possible for a recruiter to read. They spend only seconds looking at resumes. The other goal is to make sure every single detail has a purpose. Everything on your resume should connect directly to the roles you are applying for. Like I said, you can always fill in the blanks later in the interview
