The Job Sort guides

The work behind a résumé you can defend.

Practical, source-backed guidance for turning real experience into a clear application without inflating the story.

Start where you are

Start with the problem in front of you.

Turn your real work, study, projects and volunteering into a clear first résumé.

Audit every section, remove stale material and strengthen weak claims without inventing results.

Show scope, action and outcome truthfully when no reliable number exists.

Use a simple structure that works for people and common application parsers.

Match the language and priorities of a role without copying unsupported requirements into your résumé.

Decide whether you need a summary and build it from relevant, supportable evidence.

Use study, projects, volunteering and other real evidence when formal work history is limited.

Compare the usual document name, page size and application conventions in four supported markets.

Country formats

Country guidance changes presentation and local expectations. It never changes the facts in your career record.

Build a concise, evidence-led US résumé and recognize when a federal application needs different detail.

Use Australian spelling, a clear professional layout and evidence tailored to the advertised role.

Write a clear UK CV with relevant history and without unnecessary personal information.

Keep a Canadian résumé concise, achievement-focused and free from unnecessary personal details.
