WELCOME!
Hey friend, Alvin here. Thank you for trusting in me and downloading my Project Manager
Resume Template.
In the following pages, you will find my EXACT Resume Template that I used to apply to Project
Manager jobs, which helped me land interviews for Engineering Project Manager roles and
helped me pivot my career from working as an Engineer to a Project Manager.
You excited to dive in?
If you’re on the path to applying to Project Manager jobs (entry, mid, and/or senior-level PM
roles), then you’re in the right place!
Just remember one thing… Your resume has only one purpose, which is to land an interview.
Do NOT make your resume a complete autobiography of your entire work history. Tailor your
resume to the positions you’re applying to, and select the BEST experiences which showcase
your project management experiences and align it to the job description you’re applying to.
I personally recommend keeping your resume to two (2) pages or less – this is what worked for
me in the past, without having to rely on text-cramming and incorporating the most relevant
experiences into the resume.
My Resume Template includes instructions with how to fill out each section. Make sure to
remove these comments when you create your own resume, and format accordingly for your
own software (ex: Microsoft Word or Google Sheets).
Simply put, this is the Resume Template I wish I had when I was applying for jobs several
years ago to be a Project Manager.
Sounds good? Cool, let’s get started!
Good luck,
Alvin

PROFESSIONAL CAREER SUMMARY
How to Fill This Out: This section is the VERY FIRST thing that someone reads when they pick up your
resume, so use this space VERY CAREFULLY. Think of this as your “movie trailer” that will hook the
Recruiter and Hiring Manager to get them interested in you.
Paragraph #1 should include two to three sentences about your aggregated work experience, your
industry of expertise, and the size of the companies you’ve worked for. At the very end, list out a high-
level description of major project management accomplishments with quantifiable results.
Paragraph #2 should have one to two sentences summarizing your technical skills, competencies and
educational credentials. Avoid soft skills “Keyword stuffing” here – ex: do NOT list leadership,
teamwork, communication, etc as your core competencies..
Example:
• Associate Project Manager with 3 years experience in Information Technology and Project
Management for small to mid-size companies. Created, managed, and deployed technological
solution projects which have generated $10 Million in company revenue through software
deployment and establishing customer relations and partnerships.
• Core competencies include project management, agile methodologies, information systems, IT
Application/Technical support, data center migration, system implementations, data
processing, and hardware installation & configurations. Educational credentials include MBA
from Northwestern University, BA in Computer Science from University of Texas, and Certified
Associate in Project Management (CAPM) Certification and Certified Scrum Master (CSM).
HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
How to Fill This Out: List three bullet points of your biggest high-level accomplishments related to
leading and managing projects which ALIGN to the Job Description you’re applying to. The purpose
here is to show the IMPACT of your accomplishments and to combine this with QUANTIFIABLE
NUMBERS and METRICS. Make it so convincing that this shows that you are the BEST FIT for the
Project Manager role. Remember to quantify your results and include financial revenue numbers,
percentages, number of customers, etc to drive the message to the Recruiter & Hiring Manager.
• Bullet Point #1 outlining Accomplishment #1

Example:
• Increased product portfolio revenue by $25 Million by managing a New Product Development
Project and leading a cross-functional team to launch on-time to market in 2020, with a
budget of $1 Million
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
How to Fill This Out: List your Professional Work Experience in reverse chronological order, starting
with your most recent position. First list the Employer Name followed by the City and the
Months/Years that you worked for that Employer. Underneath this line, include a brief sentence
describing the company, to set the picture in the recruiter/Hiring Manager’s mind about the
company’s background, and follow this up with a high-level sentence about your role and
accomplishments you’ve performed. Underneath this section, include a subsection for your Job Title,
with your biggest accomplishments.
COMPANY A, City, State Month/Year to Month/Year
First sentence describing the company, company size, and the market background. Second sentence
summarizing your role and high-level accomplishments.
