Validate structure first
Use a single H1 for your name and clear H2 sections. The structure matters more than fonts.
If your headings jump from H1 to H3, fix it before editing wording.
- Name as the only H1
- Standard H2 sections: Summary, Experience, Education, Skills
Trim fluff and add outcomes
Rewrite any bullet that starts with “Responsible for…” into an action + outcome format.
If you cannot quantify, describe the friction removed or time saved.
Final ADA and clarity pass
Check contrast and alt text if you embed logos in online portfolios. Keep file names descriptive.
