We explain the reasoning behind resume decisions so you can judge whether a recommendation fits your actual situation. When a claim depends on a source, we link to that source. When a decision depends on context—such as whether a photo belongs on a resume—we say so instead of presenting one universal rule.
We do not promise interviews, invent hiring statistics, or treat applicant tracking systems as mysterious scoring machines. The goal is a document that communicates true, relevant evidence clearly to both software and people.
Your strongest evidence is already in your experience.
