How to Write a Resume That Makes You Look More Experienced (Even If You're Not) ❌ Don’t: Undersell what you did. Writing things like “Helped with reports,” “Assisted my manager,” or “Supported projects” makes your role sound minor. You might have done meaningful work — but words like “helped” or “assisted” hide it. Recruiters can’t guess your value if you don’t show it. ✅ Do: Use strong action verbs and show outcomes. Instead of “Helped with reports,” write “Compiled weekly reports to track campaign performance and identify key growth areas.” Even small contributions sound stronger when you highlight their purpose or result. 💡 Why It Works: You’re showing impact — not just activity. Framing your work this way makes you look proactive and capable, even in entry-level roles. ⭐ Tip: If you were part of a team, focus on your part of the result. Write as if you owned a piece of the success, because you did.
