Section order
- Summary
- Experience
- Skills
- Education
Where your resume has these sections. A section your resume does not have is not added.
Mistakes that cost interviews
- Course counts without outcomes
- Policy lists with no scope
- Team hiring totals written as personal ones
Evidence that counts in people and hr
- Headcount or regions supported
- Hiring, retention or engagement results as documented
- Programs built: onboarding, performance, compensation, policy
- Compliance tasks handled
- HR systems used
Use what your resume already shows. A line without a number can still be strong when it says clearly what you did and where.
These are common reading conventions drawn from hiring guides and career services, not rules every employer follows.
