Resume template FAQ
What should I include on my resume?
There are five basic sections on every resume: a header, resume summary, skills section, work experience and education. The order in which they appear will depend on the resume format you choose. As you learn how to write a resume, you’ll know how to choose the resume format that’s right for your level of work experience.
How long should my resume be?
The rule of thumb for resume length is that you should write one page per decade of experience with a cap of two pages. So, anyone who has worked for 10 years or less should write a one-page resume, while someone with 10 years of experience or more can write two. While LiveCareer’s resume templates can create documents of up to three pages, we recommend listing no more than 20 years of experience. Older roles will likely not be directly relevant to the new role you seek.
What resume templates are ATS-friendly?
Applicant tracking system (ATS) is software that scans resumes for keywords pulled from the job ad. These are usually words and phrases that describe skills and experience that are critical to the role. If your resume doesn’t contain the right keywords, or if your resume is created on a template that is difficult to scan, your resume will likely be rejected. All of LiveCareer’s resume templates are tested to ensure that they are easy for ATS software to scan. All you have to do is write a strong resume.
