Objective
Merva says: Write a targeted objective for each job. Brief summary of how YOUR skills fit THEIR role. Not a generic mission statement.
Work Experience
Merva says: List: Company, Title, Dates, What you did. Vary your verbs. Don't repeat "Responsible for." Upsell your duties but keep them relevant to the job you want.
Education
Merva says: Keep it simple. School, degree, date. Add honors or relevant activities if they matter.
Skills
Merva says: Use SENTENCES, not buzzwords. Every word costs you something else. If you write "Microsoft Office" you're wasting space that could make you stand out.
Format Rules
Merva says: One page ideal, two max if content is highly relevant. Contact info at top AND bottom. Format so the reader sees: Company, Title, Duration, Duties, in that order.
This builder follows the Merva format: contact at top & bottom, intuitive Company → Title → Dates → Duties order, sentence-form skills, and a targeted objective. Preview updates live on the right.
