Your resume is not a record of what you’ve done. It’s a pitch deck for what you can do next.
Yet most professionals, even great ones, undersell their value without realizing it.
Meet Tom : Product Manager, 10+ Years Experience
Tom is smart, experienced, and outcome-focused. But his CV? Not so much.
Here’s how the Jobgether CV Review helped him transform it from “just okay” to “interview magnet.”
Diagnosis: What Was Wrong with Tom’s CV?
Issue | Symptom | Why It Hurts |
No metrics | “Managed product roadmap” | No proof of impact or results |
Passive voice | “Was involved in launch of mobile app” | Weak, indirect phrasing |
Generic language | “Responsible for onboarding flow” | Doesn’t differentiate or excite |
Cluttered layout | Inconsistent bullets, mixed dates | Makes it hard to scan quickly |
Skill dump | Long, unordered list | Lacks clarity and keyword focus for ATS |
Before & After: Experience Section Rewrites
Here’s how Tom’s bullet points evolved after applying the CV Review:
- BEFORE: Too vague, no numbers : “Managed cross-functional teams to develop new product features.”
AFTER: Clear value and outcome : “Led 3 cross-functional squads to ship 12 new features in 6 months, increasing user retention by 18%.”
- BEFORE: Passive and fuzzy :“Was involved in the launch of our mobile application.”
AFTER: Action-driven and precise: “Spearheaded the launch of a mobile app now used by 50,000+ monthly active users, driving 22% of overall engagement.”
- BEFORE: Generic responsibility: “Responsible for customer onboarding strategy.”
AFTER: Specific result, real ownership : “Redesigned onboarding flow, reducing drop-off by 40% and cutting time-to-value from 5 days to 48 hours.”
- BEFORE: Corporate fluff : “Oversaw product-market fit validation.”
AFTER: Storytelling + validation metrics : “Ran 15+ customer discovery interviews and 3 MVP tests, leading to a validated product-market fit in Q1 2024.”
- BEFORE: Team player cliché : “Worked closely with the marketing team.”
AFTER: Defined collaboration and impact : “Partnered with growth team to A/B test 5 landing pages, increasing signups by 31% in 2 weeks.”
Layout and Skills: What Tom Fixed
- Skills Section BEFORE:
Product Management, Agile, Design Thinking, SQL, Leadership, UX, Strategy, Prioritization, Jira, Communication
Problem: No structure, no emphasis, no ATS focus. - Skills Section AFTER:
- Technical Skills: SQL, Figma, A/B Testing, Jira, Mixpanel
- Methodologies: Agile, Scrum, OKRs, Lean
- Core Strengths: Cross-functional leadership, Strategic Roadmapping, Product Discovery
Now it’s scan-friendly, keyword-rich, and clearly segmented.
