Project manager resume and career help
A project manager resume should show three things in its top third: what kind of PM you are, how big the work was, and one result you can back up. Under each role, a scope line comes first, then bullets that name a result or a decision, not a duty. Every figure should trace to your own record.
Check one line
Paste one line from your resume and pick your role. Reed, an AI career analyst, returns one finding and one question. No sign-up.
This checks the words on the page against written rules. It does not know whether your line is true, it does not score or rewrite your resume, and it makes no promise about interviews or offers.

Questions
What do hiring managers read for on a project manager resume?
In the first 30 seconds: what kind of projects you run, in what domain, how big they were in budget, people and months, and whether your last role is recent. On a closer read: whether you ran the full lifecycle through cutover and acceptance, owned money and scope, handled a vendor and made a hard call. Each bullet should survive three follow-up questions.
Should I list my PMP?
If you hold one, list it once, with the year, or with "in progress" and a month. A PMP or a similar credential is a soft plus that a hiring manager glances at, not a requirement. Reed never treats a missing credential as a finding.
Does Reed know whether my resume is true?
No. Reed cannot know if a line is true. It can see when a result has no starting point or a line names a duty but not a change, and it asks where the record is. You decide what changes. Nothing is added that you did not confirm.
