Inside each guide

What every job guide covers

Every guide has the same parts, written for that job. Pick a level at the top of the guide to read it for your stage, or show all levels to compare them.

A full sample resume per level

Five complete resumes, fresher to senior, so you can see how the same job reads at each stage.

Professional summary

Example summaries for each level and what each one should lead with.

Skills

Hard and soft skills for the job, and which to list first for the level you are applying at.

Experience bullets

Example bullet points that state a result, not a duty, beyond the ones in the sample.

Education and certifications

The degrees, licenses and certifications that employers in the field ask for.

Common mistakes

Mistakes typical of the job, each with the fix.

Pay and job outlook

Median pay and projected growth from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, with the source linked.

Questions about the job

Answers to questions people ask when writing a resume for that job.

Experience levels

Which level to read

Choose by the work you do now, not by your job title. Titles differ between employers; the work at each level is much the same.

Level 1
Fresher
No full-time job in the field yet. Education, internships, training and projects carry the resume.
Level 2
Entry-level
About a year in. The resume shows the work you now do on your own and the first results.
Level 3
Junior
Two to three years in. The resume shows an area you own and improvements you made.
Level 4
Mid-level
About three to seven years in. The resume shows complex work, judgment and the people you guide.
Level 5
Senior
Leading the work: staff, principal, director, foreman or controller. The resume shows scope, standards and the team.

Using an example

Copy the structure, not the words

1
Match the level, then the job
Open the guide for your job and switch to your level. A senior sample tells a fresher little about what to write.
2
Take the order of sections
Notice which section comes first for your level and what the summary leads with. That order is the part worth copying.
3
Replace every number with yours
The figures in the samples are invented. A bullet only works on your resume with a result you can explain in an interview.
4
Check it against the job posting
Use the words of the posting for the skills you really have, then run the file through the ATS checker.

One bullet, before and after

Duty

Responsible for month-end close tasks.

Result

Helped cut close time from nine working days to seven with an updated checklist and earlier accruals

The second line, from the entry-level accountant sample, says what changed, by how much and how. The first says only that the task existed. Every guide has more lines like the second for its job.

Questions

About these examples

Are the people in the sample resumes real?: No. Names, employers and numbers are invented, and every sample is labelled as an example. The samples show how a strong resume for the job is built; they are not anyone's real career.
Where do the pay figures come from?: From the Occupational Outlook Handbook of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, linked on each guide. Each figure names the occupation it is for. Where BLS has no page for a job, the guide says which related occupation the figure comes from. They are U.S. medians, so pay elsewhere and at the start of a career is often different.
Can I use a sample as my resume?: Use it as a model, not as text. Employers ask about what is on your resume, and the numbers in a sample are not yours. Keep the structure and write each line from your own work.
My job is not listed. What should I read?: Pick the closest job in the same field for structure, then use the blog guides for each section, such as the work experience and skills guides. They apply to any job.

Section guides: work experience, skills, summary, all guides.
