Resume examples
A worked example for every role.
The bullets we would write, the skills worth claiming, and the mistake we would warn you about for that role. 33 roles and counting, every one scored.
Administration
Customer
- Customer Success ManagerCSM resumes are read for retention numbers. Everything else is context for those.Kivire Score94 / 100
- Customer Service RepresentativeCustomer service is measured to the decimal, so the resume can be too: volume, satisfaction, resolution. The numbers are the difference between "handled calls" and a hire.Kivire Score99 / 100
Data
- Data AnalystAnalysts are hired to change what a business does. A resume that describes dashboards built rather than decisions changed reads as a report generator.Kivire Score90 / 100
- Data ScientistData science resumes fail on the same thing: models described in detail, impact described not at all. A model that never shipped is a course project.Kivire Score94 / 100
- Data EngineerData engineering is judged on reliability. The resume should read like someone who has been woken up by a broken pipeline and fixed the cause.Kivire Score94 / 100
- Machine Learning EngineerThe role sits between research and platform. A resume has to make clear which side you lean, because hiring managers are recruiting for one or the other.Kivire Score89 / 100
Design
- Product DesignerThe portfolio carries the craft; the resume has to carry the outcomes and the scope. Most designers duplicate their portfolio and lose the screen.Kivire Score92 / 100
- UX DesignerUX roles vary enormously between companies. The resume should make clear whether you are a researcher, an interaction designer, or both.Kivire Score92 / 100
Education
Engineering
- Software EngineerSoftware engineers are hired to ship working systems and keep them working. The resume has to show both halves.Kivire Score99 / 100
- Senior Software EngineerThe step from engineer to senior engineer is the step from writing code to being responsible for outcomes. A senior resume that reads like a mid-level one is the most common reason a strong candidate is screened out.Kivire Score94 / 100
- DevOps EngineerDevOps is measured in minutes and dollars: how fast things ship, how often they break, what the bill is. Those numbers belong on the resume.Kivire Score92 / 100
- Site Reliability EngineerSRE resumes should read like someone who has been on the wrong end of an outage and changed the system so it could not recur.Kivire Score92 / 100
- Frontend DeveloperFrontend is where performance and accessibility are most visible and most often ignored. A resume that mentions both stands out immediately.Kivire Score92 / 100
- Full Stack DeveloperFull stack is a claim about breadth, and breadth invites doubt about depth. The resume should show one area of genuine depth alongside the range.Kivire Score94 / 100
Finance
- AccountantAccounting resumes are read for accuracy, deadlines and scope: what you closed, how fast, how clean, and how big.Kivire Score99 / 100
- Financial AnalystA financial analyst is hired to make a number trustworthy and a decision easier. The resume should show both: the model, and what was decided because of it.Kivire Score99 / 100
Healthcare
- Registered NurseA nursing resume is read by a nurse manager who wants three things fast: the licence, the unit and acuity you have worked, and evidence you keep patients safe under load.Kivire Score99 / 100
- Medical AssistantA medical assistant keeps a clinic moving: rooming, vitals, the record, the phone. The resume should show volume, accuracy and the range of procedures you are trusted with.Kivire Score99 / 100
Marketing
- Marketing ManagerMarketing resumes live or die on attribution. A number without a baseline is treated as noise.Kivire Score94 / 100
- Growth MarketerGrowth is an experimental discipline. The resume should show a rate of learning, not only a list of wins.Kivire Score94 / 100
- Content Marketing ManagerContent roles are judged on whether the writing produced business results, not on volume published.Kivire Score94 / 100
Operations
- Project ManagerProject management is judged on delivery against constraints. Budget, schedule and scope are the three numbers a reader is looking for.Kivire Score92 / 100
- Program ManagerProgramme management is project management with more ambiguity and more stakeholders. The resume should show you operate without direct authority.Kivire Score90 / 100
- Operations ManagerOperations is about throughput, cost and error rate. Those three numbers, before and after, carry the whole resume.Kivire Score94 / 100
- Warehouse SupervisorWarehouse work is measured every day, which makes the resume easy: put the measures on it. Volume, accuracy, safety and the size of the crew.Kivire Score99 / 100
Product
- Product ManagerProduct managers are hired on judgement, and judgement is only visible through outcomes. A PM resume full of features shipped says nothing about whether they were the right features.Kivire Score94 / 100
- Senior Product ManagerA senior PM is trusted with a bet, not a backlog. The resume has to show you have been given real authority and used it well.Kivire Score89 / 100
Sales
- Sales RepresentativeSales resumes are read as scorecards. Quota, attainment, deal size and cycle length are the four numbers that matter, and their absence is conspicuous.Kivire Score92 / 100
- Account ExecutiveThe AE resume is a track record. Consistency across years is more persuasive than one exceptional quarter.Kivire Score94 / 100
- Sales ManagerManaging sellers is judged on team attainment and on retention. Your own past quota matters less than what your team did under you.Kivire Score94 / 100
