What Makes a Good Resume in 2026?

→

One page for most people: Unless you have 10+ years of experience, keep it to a single page. Recruiters spend 6–7 seconds on an initial scan.

→

Quantify achievements: "Reduced load time by 40%" beats "improved performance." Numbers make your impact concrete and memorable.

→

Match the job description: Use keywords from the job posting. Many companies use ATS (applicant tracking systems) that filter by keywords before a human ever sees your resume.

→

Clean, readable formatting: No columns, tables, or graphics. Simple formatting survives ATS parsing and looks professional in both digital and print.

→

Contact info at the top: Name, email, phone, location, and optionally LinkedIn/portfolio. Make it impossible to miss.
