List your roles, then write achievement-focused bullets under each one.

The Experience step holds your work history. This is usually the section recruiters read first, so it deserves the most attention. A strong experience section shows what you achieved, not just what you were hired to do.

How to add a position

Click Add in the Experience panel to create a new entry. Then fill in these fields:

  • Company - the organization you worked for.
  • Job Title - your role at that company.
  • Dates - start and end dates using the month/year picker.
  • Location - city and country, or a remote label if needed.

Write achievement-focused bullets

The bullet points under each role are where you shine. Write them as achievements rather than duties. Lead with a strong action verb and add a measurable result when you can.

Tip

Compare "Responsible for customer support" with "Resolved 30 support tickets a day with a 95% satisfaction score". The second version is specific, measurable, and much more convincing.

The built-in rich text editor lets you format your bullets. Use bold for important numbers or keywords, and keep each bullet to one clear sentence or two.

Add and remove roles

Add every role that matters for your target job. Recent, relevant experience beats a long list of old jobs. If a role is unrelated or many years old, you can leave it out.

Use the remove button on each entry to delete it. Changes update the preview instantly.

Reorder your experience

The order of your roles matters. Most resumes list the most recent role first, but you can drag entries around in the preview to lead with your most relevant position. This is useful for career changes.
