Project Manager resume example

Project manager resumes live or die on delivery proof: on-time percentage, budget size, and how many stakeholders or teams you coordinated. Lead with the portfolio you ran, not the tools you clicked.

Name your methodology (Agile, Scrum, Waterfall) and PM software explicitly — both recruiters and ATS filters search for them.
