Using Notebook
Why it reads like a page
Editors judge writers on sentences. A resume set like good print, with no decoration, puts the attention on how you write each bullet.
How to fill it
Link your clips or portfolio first. Under each role, give beats, formats and readership or traffic figures. Add notable pieces in a Custom section called Selected work, with the outlet and year.
When to pick another
For content marketing roles in tech, Signal or Ledger read more business-like. For academic writing, Scholar numbers publications.
Words to use
The layout is half of it. For the terms recruiters search for, see the keyword lists for content writer, digital marketer and ux designer resumes.

Are dash bullets OK for ATS?
Yes. They are plain text, and our tests read every bullet back in order.
Can I write in the first person?
In the summary, yes. Bullets read better starting with a verb.
