Pick a clean, professional template that shows billing tasks clearly. Use a reverse-chronological layout so employers see your recent billing and collections work first.
Keep length tight. One page works for entry and mid-career billing coordinators. Use two pages only if you have many directly relevant roles and certifications.
Choose ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, Georgia, or Garamond. Use 10-12pt for body and 14-16pt for headers. Keep line spacing at 1.0–1.15 and add space between sections for breathing room.
Use simple formatting over creative layouts. Avoid heavy graphics, complex columns, and unusual fonts. ATS tools parse plain text best, and hiring managers read fast.
Use clear section headings: Contact, Summary, Experience, Skills, Certifications, Education. Put billing systems and metrics in Experience entries. Use bullet points and start bullets with strong action verbs.
Avoid common errors. Don’t cram too much text onto one page. Don’t use pictures or charts that break parsing. Don’t mix fonts or use bright colors that distract. Don’t hide dates or use vague job titles.
