Quick rules

• Start every bullet with a strong verb: cleaned, built, delivered, trained, repaired, organised.
• Numbers beat adjectives: "fast" is a claim, "same-day turnaround on 90% of jobs" is evidence.
• Save and send as PDF, named: Firstname-Lastname-Resume.pdf.
• Match the words in the job posting — many employers scan for them before a human reads.
