Industries We Serve
Resumes vary by industry because there are specific requirements for skills, resume structure, and design. Different industries have their own characteristics and require a particular knowledge base and expertise not peculiar to other fields; therefore, a resume should be adapted to a specific position.
Industry knowledge is valued in a resume, as it demonstrates the specifics of the field of activity and an understanding of business processes. This is why it is critically important to adapt a resume to a specific position. A universal list of skills does not work here - each resume must be adapted to a particular position.
If you have a “universal” resume that will fail to pass through hiring managers, you can always contact experts with a huge expertise for a valuable piece of advice.

Industry Groups
Business, Finance & Management
A resume in this field should include specific figures, KPIs and achievements. Highlight analytical and managerial experience, data analysis skills, and understanding of various business roles. Keep the structure brief and results-oriented.
Healthcare & Science
Focus depends on the profession: management achievements, scientific publications, awards, licensure, evidence-based practice, and patient-care expertise.
Legal, Government & Education
Resumes in these fields must follow strict formats, focusing on education, experience, compliance, legal terminology, Government Standards (SES/ECQ), and specific achievements.
Tech, Engineering & Specialized Fields
Emphasize technical skills, engineering specialization, standards, hard skills, tech stacks, documentation, and achievements relevant to your field.
Why Industry-Specific Resumes Matter
Industry-specific resumes play an important role because they help to distinguish a candidate from other applicants in a competitive job market. A universal approach is not always effective because a resume should be created in a way to cover the requirements of a specific industry/career/position.
Each industry has its own standards, terminology, and requirements for skills and qualifications for specific roles. A candidate should focus on a job posting to highlight the skills and achievements that are important in the industry and for a specific company and position. Many companies use ATS to screen resumes, and industry-specific resumes are more likely to pass through these systems.
Micro-case
A candidate from the Healthcare field (e.g., a nurse from Michigan) received more interviews after switching the resume focus to patient outcomes, clinical responsibilities, and specific achievements. Polishing the resume from unnecessary skills and experience, the nurse was able to attract the attention of hiring managers.
FAQ
-
Why do resumes vary so much across industries?
Resumes vary across industries because different fields require different skills, qualifications, and experience. Therefore, resume standards vary from industry to industry, and some sections may be relevant to one field and not relevant to another. Each resume is scanned by an ATS system, which searches for words specific to an industry and a position.
-

The team of experts can work with a resume in any field. All resume writers and editors have a particular expertise in all industries in the market. If you have a profession not listed here, be sure we have an expert to cope with your job documents effectively.
-
How do editors adapt resumes for complex or specialized fields?
Professional resume editors study the requirements and preferences of the industry, create a resume that reflects the unique experiences, achievements, and career ambitions of a candidate, and know the major focus of hiring managers to emphasize it in a resume. They polish and adapt the resume to a particular job offer to make it attractive and relevant to a potential employer.
-
Do industry resumes require different ATS optimization?
Resumes for different industries require different optimizations for candidate tracking systems (ATS). There is no universal resume because each version must be adapted to a specific vacancy, taking into account the key requirements and features of the company. If you want to be seen by a hiring manager through your resume, it should be adapted strictly to the position you are applying to.
If you want guidance tailored to your industry, our editors can help refine your achievements and highlight relevant skills that matter to hiring managers.
