The format, defined

What is a Harvard resume format?

A Harvard resume is a single-page, education-first CV with reverse-chronological sections and quantified X-Y-Z bullets — "accomplished X, measured by Y, by doing Z." It uses a clean serif typeface, no photo, no graphics, and selectable text so applicant tracking systems read it cleanly.

It's the de facto standard in consulting, banking, academia, medicine, and law. Our free resume builder lays it out for you and lets you preview the result before you download a clean, watermark-free PDF.

Before you send it

Is your CV up to Harvard's standard?

An in-editor coach reviews every bullet — and the whole CV — against the Harvard format and the X-Y-Z formula. It tells you what to sharpen. You write; the AI never drafts for you.

  1. 01

    One bullet or the whole CV

    Review a single line as you write, or ask for a full read across every section.

  2. 02

    Anchored to the Harvard standard

    Feedback follows the Office of Career Services guide and the X-Y-Z formula: accomplishment, metric, method.

  3. 03

    You write, not the AI

    It points out what's missing and how to fix it — it never invents numbers or rewrites your story. Your CV stays yours.
