Pick a clean, single-column template for an Assembly Line Worker. Use a reverse-chronological layout so hiring managers see your recent shop experience first.
Keep length short. One page fits most applicants. If you have decades of direct production leadership, two pages can work, but keep content tightly relevant.
Choose an ATS-friendly font like Calibri, Arial, Georgia, or Garamond. Set body text to 10–12pt and headings to 14–16pt so scanners and humans read easily.
Give each section enough white space. Use 0.25–0.5 inch margins and consistent line spacing. That helps readability on small screens and printed copies.
Stick to simple formatting. Use standard headings such as Contact, Summary, Experience, Skills, and Education. Use bullet points for duties and achievements so screen readers and ATS parse them well.
Avoid complex columns, graphics, and fancy icons. Those elements can break parsing and hide key details like dates and job titles.
Watch common mistakes. Don’t cram the page with tiny text. Don’t use obscure fonts or many colors. Don’t mix too many bullet styles or inconsistent dates.
Highlight measurable results where you can. Note production rates, defect reduction, safety records, or cross-training. Use short action lines that start with verbs like 'assembled', 'inspected', or 'trained'.
Use plain file types. Save as PDF or a simple DOCX unless the employer asks otherwise. That keeps layout stable across devices and systems.
