The Resume Handbook

Everything we know about writing a resume that actually gets read, free, opinionated, and the same advice that's built into the editor.

Write

What to say: concise, achievement-oriented copy for every section of your resume.

Design

How it looks: layout, formatting, and visual choices that keep a reader scanning.

Optimize

How it performs: writing for the human who reads it first, and staying ATS-safe along the way.

Put it into practice

Build your resume in Fit The Role and these principles are already built into the editor and templates.
