How to write a resume that gets remote interviews

A remote resume has one extra job: it must prove you can work well without someone watching. Put that proof near the top, in a two-line summary that names your field, your years of experience and the tools you use every day.

Replace duties with results. Instead of "handled support tickets", write "resolved 40 tickets a day with a 95% satisfaction score". Numbers show you can be trusted to manage your own output.

Add a short line about remote experience, even if it is informal: freelance projects, group work across time zones or a home-based course. List the collaboration tools you know, such as Slack, Notion, Zoom or Trello.

Keep it to one page, use a plain layout and save it as a PDF. Many companies scan resumes with software, so avoid text boxes, columns and images that can scramble your content.
