Tech stack near the top, because that is the first thing a screener looks for, then projects with outcomes.
- Put the stack the job description asks for first, and only list what you could discuss in an interview.
- Write the result, not the ticket. "Cut page load from 4s to 1.2s" beats "worked on performance".
- Spell tools the way the industry does: Node.js, PostgreSQL, CI/CD. Parsers match on exact strings.

Manager and team lead
People who lead teams, budgets or functions
Scope first - team size, budget and what you owned - so seniority is clear before the detail.
- State scope in the summary: how many people, what budget, which function. Recruiters screen on scope.
- Separate what your team achieved from what you personally did. Conflating them reads as inflation.
- Include one bullet about people: hiring, retention or promotions. Most manager resumes leave it out.
Opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Replace everything in [brackets].

Sales and business development
Inside sales, field sales, account management and BD
Numbers first - target, achievement and territory - because that is how sales resumes are screened.
- Lead with achievement against target as a percentage. "112% of a 2 crore target" says more than "exceeded target".
- Name the segment and deal size. Enterprise selling is a different job from SMB, and recruiters filter on it.
- If a year was below target, give the context in one clause rather than hiding the year.

Support and operations
Customer support, back office, process and operations roles
Volume, quality scores and process ownership, which is what operations hiring actually screens for.
- Give volume and quality together: tickets per day alongside CSAT. Either one alone is easy to dismiss.
- Name tools by product, not category. Write Zendesk or Freshdesk, not "ticketing system".
- If you have worked night or rotational shifts, say so plainly. For many roles it is a requirement.
