Create CVCreating a resume with suggestions is not about adding random tips or generic improvements.
It is about engineering a document that evolves from average to high-performance through targeted, strategic upgrades based on how resumes are actually evaluated across:
ATS systems
Recruiter screening behavior
Hiring manager decision-making
Most candidates write a resume once. Top candidates continuously refine it using structured, high-leverage suggestions that directly improve interview conversion.
This guide shows you exactly how to build, audit, and improve your resume using expert-level suggestions that align with real hiring outcomes.
A resume with suggestions is:
A base resume
It is NOT:
A list of random tips
A one-time fix
Think of your resume in 5 layers:
Is your resume easy to scan and parse?
Does it match what recruiters search?
Does it show impact, not tasks?
Does it clearly define your value?
Does it persuade hiring managers to interview you?
Each suggestion must improve one of these layers.
Most summaries fail because they are vague.
Weak Example:
“Hardworking professional with experience in multiple areas.”
Suggestion:
Replace vague language with:
Role-specific positioning
Experience level
Measurable impact
Good Example:
“Operations Manager with 9+ years of experience optimizing supply chain processes, reducing operational costs by 22%, and leading cross-functional teams in high-growth logistics environments.”
Why this works:
Immediately signals expertise
A template-only solution
Reality: Every strong resume is the result of iterative improvements, not initial writing.
Shows results
Aligns with hiring intent
Most candidates either:
Overload skills
Or stay too generic
Suggestion:
Curate skills into:
Core domain expertise
Tools and systems
Role-specific capabilities
Weak Example:
Communication
Teamwork
Leadership
Good Example:
Supply Chain Optimization
SAP ERP
Process Improvement
Inventory Management
Data Analysis
Why this works:
Matches recruiter search filters
Signals real capability
This is the highest-impact section.
Most resumes fail here because they:
List responsibilities
Lack metrics
Show no ownership
Convert every bullet using:
Action + Context + Result
Weak Example:
“Handled customer support inquiries.”
Suggestion:
Add:
Scope
Improvement
Measurable outcome
Good Example:
“Managed 100+ weekly customer inquiries, reducing response time by 35% and improving customer satisfaction scores by 18%.”
Hiring managers think in business outcomes.
Upgrade further:
Better Example:
“Streamlined customer support workflows, reducing response time by 35% and increasing CSAT by 18%, contributing to a 12% increase in customer retention.”
Suggestion:
Only include:
Degree
Institution
Remove:
Include:
Certifications (role-relevant)
Projects (if lacking experience)
Languages (if useful)
Avoid filler sections.
Instead of:
“Team Lead”
Use:
“Customer Success Team Lead”
Why: Improves searchability and clarity.
Numbers create credibility.
Examples:
Revenue
Growth percentages
Time savings
Cost reductions
Hiring managers look for growth.
Example:
Delete:
Outdated roles
Irrelevant experience
Redundant bullets
Mirror:
Keywords
Skills
Responsibilities
When recruiters see an improved resume, they notice:
Clear positioning → easier to match
Metrics → higher credibility
Keywords → better search ranking
Structure → faster screening
When they see an unoptimized resume:
They hesitate
They skip
They move to the next candidate
Weak Example:
“Experienced manager looking for new opportunities.”
Good Example:
“Project Manager with 6+ years of experience delivering cross-functional IT projects, reducing delivery timelines by 25% and managing budgets up to $3M.”
Weak Example:
“Worked on improving processes.”
Good Example:
“Redesigned internal workflows, reducing operational inefficiencies by 30% and saving $200K annually.”
