Add it after your name or in the job title line, list it under certifications with the state and year, and mention it in the summary if you have one. Recruiters often filter for it.",{"q":27,"a":28},"I'm not licensed yet. Can I still mention the CPA?","Yes, if you are working toward it. Write \"CPA candidate\" and list the sections you have passed, for example \"passed FAR and AUD.\" Don't write \"CPA\" on its own until you hold the license.",{"q":30,"a":31},"How much detail should I give about the systems I use?","Name the ERP and close tools, and say what you did with them. \"Built the fixed asset register in NetSuite\" tells a hiring manager more than a list of software names.",{"q":33,"a":34},"Should I include audit experience if I'm applying to industry?","Yes. Audit experience is a common path into corporate accounting. Describe the industries you audited and the areas you tested, since that maps directly onto industry work.",{"q":36,"a":37},"Can I name my clients from public accounting?","Only if your firm allows it and the engagement is public knowledge. Otherwise describe the client by industry and size, for example \"a regional manufacturer with $200M in revenue.\" That gives the reader the same information.",{"q":39,"a":40},"Should an accountant resume be one or two pages?","One page covers most staff and senior accountants. Managers and controllers with ten or more years, several employers and leadership work can use two pages, as long as every line still matters.",{"q":42,"a":43},"Do I need a summary?","It helps when you are changing direction, for example from audit to industry or from accounting to FP&A. Two or three sentences about your credentials, the work you do and the role you want are enough.",{"slug":11,"locale":6,"category":45,"layout":46,"updatedAt":9,"related":47,"title":48,"description":49,"profession":50,"keywords":51,"faq":57},"business","compact",[12,5],"Project Manager Resume Template","A free project manager resume template with a PMP sample, example bullets that show scope, budget and results, and the keywords recruiters search for.","Project Manager",[52,53,54,55,56],"project manager resume","project manager resume template","PMP resume example","IT project manager resume","senior project manager resume",[58,61,64,67,70,73,76],{"q":59,"a":60},"Do I need a PMP to get a project manager job?","Not always, but many job posts ask for it and some recruiters filter on it. If you have it, put it in your title line and in certifications. If you don't, real delivery results matter more than the letters.",{"q":62,"a":63},"How do I show results when the project outcome wasn't mine alone?","Describe your part. You may not have built the system, but you set the plan, ran the risks and kept the team on schedule. Say that directly, with the size of the project.",{"q":65,"a":66},"Should I list Agile or Waterfall?","List the methods you have used for real projects. Many teams run a mix, and saying \"hybrid\" with an example is more believable than claiming every framework.",{"q":68,"a":69},"How far back should my experience go?","Ten to fifteen years is usually enough. Older roles can be grouped into one line, or left off if they aren't related to project work.",{"q":71,"a":72},"Should I list every project I have managed?","No. Pick the three to five projects per job that best match the role you want, and describe those well. A long list of project names with no detail is hard to read and easy to forget.",{"q":74,"a":75},"Can I mention a project that failed?","Yes, if you can say what you did about it. Recovering a late project, cutting scope with the sponsor or stopping work that wasn't going to deliver are all signs of judgment that hiring managers look for.",{"q":77,"a":78},"Is a project manager resume different from a program manager resume?","The structure is the same. A program manager resume puts more weight on several related projects, portfolio budgets, managing other project managers and reporting to executives.",{"slug":80,"locale":6,"category":81,"layout":82,"updatedAt":9,"related":83,"title":86,"description":87,"profession":88,"keywords":89,"faq":95},"registered-nurse","healthcare","simple",[84,85],"teacher","student","Registered Nurse Resume Template","A free registered nurse resume template with a complete med-surg sample, license and certification layout, and example bullets you can adapt.","Registered Nurse",[90,91,92,93,94],"registered nurse resume","nursing resume template","RN resume example","med-surg nurse resume","new grad nurse resume",[96,99,102,104,107,110,113],{"q":97,"a":98},"Should I put my license number on my resume?","You don't need to.

Include any work as a CNA, patient care tech or unit secretary.",{"q":42,"a":103},"A short one helps when you are changing specialty or applying to a unit that is different from your current one. Two or three sentences about your experience and what you are looking for is enough.",{"q":105,"a":106},"Should I list every certification?","List the ones that are current and relevant to the job. BLS is expected almost everywhere. ACLS, PALS, NRP or a specialty certification matter when the unit asks for them.",{"q":108,"a":109},"How long should a nursing resume be?","One page for most nurses with under ten years of experience. Two pages are fine for nurses with several specialties, leadership roles or travel contracts, as long as every line helps.",{"q":111,"a":112},"How do I list travel nursing contracts?","Group them under one heading, such as \"Travel Registered Nurse, through an agency\", and list each contract underneath with the hospital, the unit, the city and the dates. That keeps short contracts from looking like job hopping.",{"q":114,"a":115},"Should I mention the patient ratio on my unit?","It helps when it says something about the pace or acuity of the work, for example \"1:2 in a 20-bed ICU\" or \"1:5 on a 36-bed med-surg unit\". One line in the job description is enough.",{"slug":12,"locale":6,"category":117,"layout":118,"updatedAt":9,"related":119,"title":120,"description":121,"profession":122,"keywords":123,"faq":129},"technology","ats-friendly",[11,85],"Software Engineer Resume Template","A free, ATS-friendly software engineer resume with a complete sample, example bullets for every level and the skills recruiters search for.","Software Engineer",[124,125,126,127,128],"software engineer resume","software developer resume template","backend engineer resume","ATS resume for engineers","software engineer resume example",[130,133,136,139,142,145,148],{"q":131,"a":132},"Should a software engineer resume be one page?","One page is enough for most people with under ten years of experience.

An empty or abandoned profile does more harm than leaving the link out.",{"q":137,"a":138},"Should I list every language and framework I know?","List the ones you could use in an interview tomorrow. A short, honest list reads better than a long one, and interviewers often ask about anything you mention.",{"q":140,"a":141},"How do I describe work on a team project?","Say what you personally did, then the result. \"Built the retry logic for the payments service\" is clearer than \"Part of a team that worked on payments\".",{"q":143,"a":144},"Do I need a summary at the top?","It isn't required, but two or three sentences help a recruiter place you quickly, especially if your job titles don't match the role you want. Skip generic lines like \"passionate developer\" and say what you build and with what.",{"q":146,"a":147},"Should I include a photo?","For jobs in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia, leave the photo off. Some countries in Europe and the Middle East expect one. When in doubt, follow what local job posts and recruiters ask for.",{"q":149,"a":150},"How do I handle a gap in my work history?","Keep it short and factual. If you studied, freelanced, built something or cared for family, one line is enough.

Cut older or less relevant items before you shrink the font.",{"q":178,"a":179},"Should I write an objective or a summary?","Either works if it is specific. Say what kind of role you want, when you are available and one or two things you bring. A line that only says you want a challenging position adds nothing.",{"q":181,"a":182},"Do class projects count as experience?","Yes. Put them in a projects section and describe them like work.
