What to put on it

When building your resume, focus on the information clients want to see—your relevant skills, work experience, tools you’re familiar with, certifications, and achievements. Choose a simple template, keep the layout easy to read, and avoid adding unnecessary graphics or lengthy paragraphs. Remember, your resume should highlight your qualifications while remaining professional and concise.
