- Start every bullet with a strong verb and add a number: volume, %, money or time saved.
- Mirror the ad's keywords in your skills and summary — e.g. AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp — but only skills you really have.
- Keep it to one page under 3 years of experience, two pages at most otherwise.
- Use a single-column template with standard headings for online applications.
