A one-page resume you can finish in an hour
Six jobs or projects, one line each, written as a result. Cut the objective statement and the skills cloud.

The hour
Set a timer. The page has your name and a way to reach you, then roles in reverse date order. Each role gets the title, the place, the years, and two lines. Each line is a result with a number if you have one. If you do not have a number, name the thing that shipped or the problem that stopped.
- List every role and project from the last ten years. Cross out anything older unless it is the only proof of the skill the job asks for.
- Keep the six strongest. Two lines each. That is the page.
- Delete the objective, the photo, and the list of software you once opened.
- Read it aloud. If a line could sit on anyone’s resume, rewrite it until it could only be yours.
- Save a PDF. Send that, not a link that makes someone create an account.
Match it to the posting in ten minutes
Do not rebuild the page for every job. Move the two lines that match the posting to the top of the most recent role. Leave the rest. A custom page that takes all evening is how people stop applying.
