What employers look for

For project managers, three numbers matter: budget, team size and timeline. For each role, show the size of the projects you ran and whether they were delivered on time and within budget.

Name your methodology (Agile, Scrum, Waterfall or hybrid), your tools (Jira, MS Project, Primavera) and certifications such as PMP, which are common filters.

Show the type of projects you manage, because methods differ by industry. Construction, IT and marketing projects each have their own vocabulary and tools. Match the job ad's industry terms in your summary so the reader immediately sees that you understand their kind of work.

Frequently asked questions

Is PMP necessary?

Not always, but it is a frequent filter for senior roles. If you are studying for it, write “PMP (in progress)”.

How do I describe a failed or delayed project?

Focus on what you controlled: risks you flagged, recovery actions and what was delivered.

One page or two?

Two pages are acceptable for senior project managers with many large projects.

Is this template ATS-friendly?

Yes. One column, standard headings and selectable text.
