7. Relevant Skills Section: Highlight both technical and soft skills that align with the job requirements.

8. Clear Work Experience: List jobs in reverse order, showcasing contributions and achievements in each role.

9. Education & Certifications: Include degrees, relevant courses, and certifications that add value to your profile.
