Standard Sections

Every resume includes these essential sections:

• Experience: Your work history
• Education: Your educational background

Adding Sections

To add optional sections to your resume:

1. Click the "Add Section" button in the resume builder
2. Select from available sections: Projects, Certifications, Languages, Publications, etc.
3. The section will appear in your resume where you can start adding content

Editing Section Content

To edit any section:

• Use the formatting toolbar for text styling (bold, italic, etc.)

Reordering Sections

You can rearrange sections to highlight what's most important:

• Be concise (one line when possible)
