Adding and reordering sections

Updated Dec 17, 20242 min readPopular

Your resume is built from modular sections — each one represents a part of your professional story. Here's how to add, remove, and reorder them.

Default sections

Every new resume starts with these sections:

  • Header (name, contact info)
  • Professional Summary
  • Work Experience
  • Education
  • Skills

Adding a new section

1

Open the section panel

Click the "+ Add Section" button at the bottom of your resume editor, or use the sidebar panel.

2

Choose a section type

Available options include: Certifications, Projects, Languages, Volunteer Work, Publications, Awards, Custom Section.

3

Fill in your content

The new section appears at the bottom of your resume. Add your entries and it will format automatically.

Reordering sections

Click and hold the drag handle (six-dot icon) on the left of any section header, then drag it up or down to rearrange. The preview updates in real time.

Tip: For most roles, we recommend this order: Summary → Experience → Education → Skills → Additional sections. But if you're a recent grad, consider putting Education before Experience.

Removing a section

Hover over any section and click the trash icon that appears on the right. Don't worry — this only hides the section from this resume. Your data is preserved and you can re-add it anytime.

Note: Removing a section removes it from the PDF output and your web portfolio. Make sure you actually don't need it before removing.
