Pick your role for the exact duties, responsibilities, skills, and ATS keywords to put on your resume — plus sample bullet points you can adapt.

How to write a job description on your resume

A job description on a resume isn't a copy-paste of your official duties — it's a short, punchy proof that you did the work well. Use the duty list for each role as a starting point, then rewrite the two or three lines that matter most for the job you want, and attach a number to each.

Start with duties, finish with results

Recruiters skim for responsibility first and impact second. Lead a bullet with the duty, then prove it: “Processed 300+ transactions per shift at 99.8% drawer accuracy” beats “handled money.”

Mirror the posting's wording

Applicant tracking systems match your resume against the job description. Use the same terms the employer uses — the tools, systems, and responsibilities they name — so your resume surfaces instead of getting filtered out.

Tailor every application

The same role reads differently across postings. Reorder your bullets so the duties each specific job cares about sit on top. Talorr can tailor your resume to any job description automatically.
