Lead with what you built. For a Job Zone 4 role, hiring managers and parsers both look for outcomes before credentials. Put two or three results at the top of each job entry, with the scale or effect stated plainly.

List the software you have actually used. Employers scan for Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Office software and Microsoft PowerPoint. Put the ones you know in a skills line, spelled the way the vendor spells them.

Show social perceptiveness and active listening, not just instructing. Social perceptiveness and active listening rank close to instructing for this occupation. One bullet per role that shows a decision, a tradeoff or a result covers them.
