Work Experience

The section listing your past jobs, with bullet points describing each.

The Work Experience section (also called "Experience" or "Employment") is the main body of a resume. It lists your past jobs in reverse chronological order, with 3 to 6 bullet points under each job describing your specific achievements. For most professionals, this is the most important section of the resume.

Each work experience entry should include: job title, company name, location, dates of employment, and bullet points. The bullets should use the action verb + task + measurable result formula, and most of them should be quantified. Don't write job descriptions — write specific achievements that prove your impact.
