AI writes the bullet points. You just review.
ATS systems scan for specific keyword matches. Include as many of these skills as you genuinely have — the closer you match the job description, the higher your ATS score.
Start every bullet point with a strong action verb. These are the highest-impact verbs for Game Developer resumes — specific, measurable, and ATS-approved.
Follow this structure to ensure recruiters find what they need — and ATS systems score your resume correctly.
Name, phone, professional email, LinkedIn URL, city/state (no full address needed). For tech roles, include your GitHub URL.
2-3 sentences: your years of experience as a Game Developer, your 2-3 signature strengths, and your career goal. Rewrite this for every application.
Company, title, dates, location — then 3-5 bullet points per role. Start every bullet with a verb like "Developed" or "Built" and include a number or percentage.
A dedicated skills block helps ATS find your qualifications instantly. Include: Unity, Unreal Engine, C#, C++, Physics Simulation, and others relevant to the specific job posting.
Degree, institution, graduation year. If you have 3+ years of experience, education goes after work experience — not before.
Certifications significantly strengthen a Game Developer resume. List the certification name, issuing body, and year obtained. Don't skip this section if you have relevant credentials.
List shipped titles by name with platform and player counts if public. Distinguish between client-side gameplay and engine/tools work.
