Before you apply, check whether your résumé gives evidence for the job’s three main requirements.
Here’s a simple way to do it:
1. Pick one job posting and identify its most important skills and responsibilities. 2. Find a real example from your experience for each one. 3. Make those examples easy to find in your summary and relevant work-history bullets.
For example, if a role calls for staff training, explain who you trained, what you taught, and how you supported their learning. Add numbers only when you can verify them.
Use the employer’s wording when it accurately describes your experience. Keep your actual job titles, and leave out skills you haven’t used.
