Use the occupation language in CareerOneStop as a vocabulary check, not permission to stuff the document with terms disconnected from your evidence.What this lesson is really solving.
Lead with relevance and make important evidence easy to scan. Use standard headings, simple formatting, role-specific language you can substantiate, and accomplishment bullets with enough context to matter. Never copy keywords into claims you cannot defend.

Use a simple structure with standard headings, readable type, consistent dates, and no critical information trapped in graphics.
- 2

- 3
Mirror accurate role language naturally without copying requirements you do not possess.
- 4
Align headline, summary, experience, portfolio, and professional profile around the same target.
See the standard in context.
Nia's top third names operations analysis, healthcare context, and three relevant strengths. Her first bullet shows the six-to-two-hour reporting improvement. An unrelated early retail role is compressed, while a recent implementation project receives more space.
Inspect before you move on.
