Video editor resumes lead with a showreel and quantified results — view counts, engagement rates, or campaign outcomes — alongside the software depth to back them up.
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 Video Editor 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, and city/state. In Creative, include any professional profile URLs relevant to your specialization.
2-3 sentences: your years of experience as a Video Editor, your 2-3 signature strengths (e.g. Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects), and your career goal. Rewrite this for every application — it's the first thing an ATS and recruiter both read.
Company, title, dates, location — then 3-5 bullet points per role. Start every bullet with a strong verb like "Edited" or "Produced" and quantify every outcome. Don't just describe tasks — prove impact with numbers, percentages, or dollar amounts tied to skills like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve.
A dedicated skills block is the primary ATS filter for Video Editor roles. Include: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Color Grading, Motion Graphics, Audio Mixing, Storytelling, YouTube/Social Formats. Mirror the exact keyword phrasing from each job description — "React.js" and "ReactJS" can be scored differently.
Degree, institution, graduation year. In Creative, education goes after work experience once you have 3+ years of relevant professional history.
Certifications are a meaningful differentiator for Video Editor positions in Creative. List the full certification name, the issuing body, and the year obtained. Active credentials with expiration dates should include the renewal date — employers in Creative actively verify these.
Include a showreel link prominently. List software versions and specify content types (short-form, long-form, documentary, branded).
