Every resume section in the NxtJob builder has a consistent set of actions for adding, editing, reordering, and removing content. This guide covers section-level operations with particular depth on Work Experience and Projects — the two sections where most editing happens.

​
Common Section Actions

All sections share these standard action buttons in the builder:
ButtonFunction

​
Work Experience Section

The Work Experience section is typically the largest and most important part of your resume. It directly impacts your Resume Score through multiple rules: quantification, action verbs, bold highlighting, bullet count, and more.

​
How to Add a New Work Experience

1

Navigate to Work Experience

Scroll to the Work Experience section in the builder editor.
2

Click Add

Click the + Add button at the bottom of the Work Experience section. A new empty entry appears.
3

Fill in the details

Enter the required fields: Job Title, Company Name, Start Date, End Date (or check “Present” for current role), and Location.
4

Add bullet points

Click into the bullet point area and start typing your accomplishments. Each bullet should begin with an action verb and include quantified results.
5

Use AI Generate (optional)

Click AI Generate to have the AI create initial bullet points based on your job title and company. Edit the generated content to add your specific numbers.

​
How to Add Multiple Roles Under the Same Company

If you held multiple positions at the same company (e.g., promoted from Senior Engineer to Engineering Manager), you have two approaches: Approach 1: Separate Entries (Recommended) Create a separate Work Experience entry for each role at the same company. This clearly shows career progression and allows each role to have its own bullet points, dates, and title.
FieldEntry 1Entry 2
TitleEngineering ManagerSenior Software Engineer
CompanyAcme CorpAcme Corp
DatesJan 2024 - PresentMar 2021 - Dec 2023
BulletsLeadership-focused bulletsTechnical contribution bullets
Approach 2: Single Entry with Multiple Roles Use one Work Experience entry with the company name, and list your roles chronologically within the bullet points. This saves space but provides less visual clarity.
For senior professionals, Approach 1 (separate entries) is almost always better. It gives each role its own scoring metrics, allows more detailed bullet points per role, and clearly demonstrates career progression to recruiters.

​
How to Edit an Existing Role

1

Click on the entry

Click on any field within the Work Experience entry you want to edit.
2

Modify fields

Edit the job title, company name, dates, location, or bullet points directly. All fields are inline-editable.
3

Edit bullet points

Click on any bullet to edit its text. Use the formatting toolbar to add bold highlighting to key metrics and achievements.
4

Add or remove bullets

Press Enter at the end of a bullet to add a new one. Delete the text and press Backspace to remove an empty bullet.

​
How to Reorder Work Experiences

Your Work Experience entries should be in reverse chronological order (most recent first). The Resume Score specifically checks for this and will flag entries that are out of order.
1

Locate the move controls

Each Work Experience entry has Move Up and Move Down arrow buttons.
2

Click Move Up or Move Down

Click the appropriate arrow to shift the entry one position up or down in the list.
3

Verify order

Ensure your most recent role appears first. Check the Resume Score to confirm the “Reverse Chronological Order” rule passes.

​
How to Delete a Work Experience

1

Locate the entry

Find the Work Experience entry you want to remove.
2

Click Delete

Click the Delete button (trash icon) on the entry.
3

Confirm deletion

Confirm the deletion when prompted. The entry and all its bullet points are removed permanently.
Before deleting a Work Experience entry, consider whether you should keep it with minimal bullet points instead. The Resume Score’s “Number of Sections” and “Critical Sections Present” rules require Work Experience to exist. Even old roles with 1-2 bullet points contribute to your career narrative.

​
Work Experience Display Settings

Each Work Experience entry has display settings that control what information is visible on the final resume:
SettingWhat It Controls
Show/Hide LocationToggle whether the job location appears on the resume
Show/Hide DatesToggle whether start and end dates appear
Date FormatChoose between different date formats (e.g., “Jan 2024”, “January 2024”, “01/2024”)
Access display settings by clicking the Settings (gear) icon on the Work Experience entry.

​
Projects Section

The Projects section follows the same structure as Work Experience and is scored using identical rules. It is particularly valuable for senior professionals who want to highlight strategic initiatives, open source contributions, or cross-functional projects.

​
How to Add a New Project

1

Navigate to Projects

Scroll to the Projects section in the builder. If you do not see it, add it from the Sections menu in the top toolbar.
2

Click Add

Click the + Add button at the bottom of the Projects section.
3

Fill in project details

Enter the Project Name, Dates, and optionally a URL or Link to the project.
4

Add bullet points

Add accomplishment bullets following the same CAR framework used for Work Experience: Action verb + what you did + measurable result.

​
How to Reorder Projects

1

Use the move controls

Each project entry has Move Up and Move Down arrow buttons.
2

Prioritize by impact

Unlike Work Experience (which must be reverse chronological), Projects can be ordered by impact. Put your most impressive project first.

​
How to Delete a Project

1

Locate the project

Find the project entry you want to remove.
2

Click Delete

Click the Delete button (trash icon) on the entry.
3

Confirm

Confirm when prompted. The project and all its bullet points are removed permanently.

​
Projects Display Settings

Similar to Work Experience, each project entry has display settings:
SettingWhat It Controls
Show/Hide DatesToggle whether project dates appear
Show/Hide LinkToggle whether the project URL appears on the resume
Date FormatChoose the date format for display
Access these by clicking the Settings (gear) icon on the project entry.
Include 2-4 projects that demonstrate leadership, architecture decisions, or measurable business impact. For senior professionals, focus on initiatives you drove at scale within organizations rather than personal side projects.

How to Rearrange Sections

Use the drag handles (six-dot icon) on each active section to drag it to a new position. Alternatively, use the up/down arrows to move sections one position at a time.

Verify the order

Check your Resume Score — the scoring engine checks that Skills is the 3rd section and Education is near the end for experienced professionals.
The recommended section order for senior professionals is: Personal Details, Summary, Skills, Work Experience, Projects, Education, Certifications, Languages. This puts your strongest selling points first and follows the pattern that recruiters and ATS systems expect.
