Make it yours

  1. Keep the form, change every fact. A verb first, what changed, one number.
  2. Use the posting’s words. The match checker shows which of them your resume lacks.
  3. Put the strongest result first. The resume review tells you what a first read finds.

How to write an apprentice and trainee resume

  1. One column, standard headings. Summary, Skills, Experience, Education: screening software reads these in order; tables, icons and two columns can come out scrambled.
  2. Every line: action, tool, result. “Built a churn dashboard in Tableau from SQL data; weekly reporting went from two days to one hour.” A verb first, the tool the posting names, one number.
  3. Send it as a PDF unless the form asks for Word. Name the file with your name and the role.

Check it before you send: the resume checker and the match against a posting.
