Resume Writer / Editor

• Read the JD carefully and highlight key responsibilities, required skills, keywords (e.g., “talent acquisition”, “employee relations”, “HR analytics”, “stakeholder management”).
• Note which qualifications / experiences are emphasised most (for instance, leadership of HR teams, change management, HRIS implementation).
• Identify what seems to matter most to the employer (for example: “drive HR strategy”, “improve employee engagement”, “reduce turnover”).

Match your resume content to that JD

• In your

  summary

  or

  profile section

  , use language that mirrors the JD: mention years of experience, highlight your HR leadership role, mention key outcomes.
• In your

  skills

  section (or embedded within your profile/summary) include the keywords from the JD so that both an ATS and a human reader see the match.
• In your

  professional experience/bullet points

  , align your story:
• Focus on roles/projects most relevant to the JD (you may choose to compress less relevant ones).
• Use

  action verbs

  +

  quantifiable achievements

  (numbers, percentages, cost savings, improved metrics). For example: instead of “led recruitment”, say “led recruitment of 120 roles across 3 geographies, reducing time-to-hire by 25%”.
• Tailor

  job titles

  or how you describe your roles to reflect the one in the JD — if you held a similar role with a slightly different title, you can clarify (Senior HR Manager (Talent & Org Dev)) as long as it’s honest.
• Remove or de-emphasize experiences/skills that don’t align with the JD — every line should serve the target role.

Format & ATS-friendliness

• Use simple formats, avoid heavy graphics, text boxes, headers/footers that ATS systems struggle with.
• Ensure section headings are clear (“Summary”, “Professional Experience”, “Education”, etc.).
• Use standard fonts and make sure keywords are spelled as they appear in the JD (and common variants).
• File name: include your name + role (e.g., “AnitaPawar_SeniorHRManager_Resume.pdf”).

Proof & polish

• Ensure your bullet points are concise, start with action verbs, emphasize impact.
• Check for grammar, consistency (e.g., years/months format, spelling of company names, alignment).
• Avoid generic phrases (e.g., “responsible for”, “worked on”) — instead use outcomes.
• Make sure your resume reflects you — avoid being purely generic or overly AI-sounding.
