 Analyse the Job Description

Read the JD carefully and highlight key responsibilities, required skills, keywords (e.g., “talent acquisition”, “employee relations”, “HR analytics”, “stakeholder management”).

Note which qualifications / experiences are emphasised most (for instance, leadership of HR teams, change management, HRIS implementation).

Identify what seems to matter most to the employer (for example : “drive HR strategy”, “improve employee engagement”, “reduce turnover”).

 Match your resume content to that JD

In your summary or profile section , use language that mirrors the JD : mention years of experience, highlight your HR leadership role, mention key outcomes.

In your skills section (or embedded within your profile / summary) include the keywords from the JD so that both an ATS and a human reader see the match.

In your professional experience / bullet points , align your story :

Focus on roles / projects most relevant to the JD (you may choose to compress less relevant ones).

Use action verbs + quantifiable achievements (numbers, percentages, cost savings, improved metrics). For example : instead of “led recruitment”, say “led recruitment of 120 roles across 3 geographies, reducing time-to-hire by 25%”.

Tailor job titles or how you describe your roles to reflect the one in the JD — if you held a similar role with a slightly different title, you can clarify (Senior HR Manager (Talent & Org Dev)) as long as it’s honest.

Remove or de-emphasize experiences / skills that don’t align with the JD — every line should serve the target role.

 Format & ATS-friendliness

Use simple formats, avoid heavy graphics, text boxes, headers / footers that ATS systems struggle with.

Ensure section headings are clear (“Summary”, “Professional Experience”, “Education”, etc.).

Use standard fonts and make sure keywords are spelled as they appear in the JD (and common variants).

File name : include your name + role (e.g., “AnitaPawar_SeniorHRManager_Resume.pdf”).

 Proof & polish

Ensure your bullet points are concise, start with action verbs, emphasize impact.

Check for grammar, consistency (e.g., years / months format, spelling of company names, alignment).

Avoid generic phrases (e.g., “responsible for”, “worked on”) — instead use outcomes.

Make sure your resume reflects you — avoid being purely generic or overly AI-sounding.
