Pick a clean, professional template that highlights hands-on work and safety records. Use a reverse-chronological layout so employers see your recent conveyor and maintenance roles first.
One page works for most Conveyor Tender candidates with under 10 years of relevant experience. Use two pages only if you have long, directly related job history and certifications to show.
Choose simple, ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, or Georgia. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt for clear hierarchy.
Leave enough white space between sections so hiring staff can scan quickly. Use 0.5–0.75 inch margins and consistent line spacing to keep the page airy.
Use standard headings: Contact, Summary, Work Experience, Skills, Certifications, and Training. Put safety certifications and machine operation skills near the top for quick visibility.
Avoid complex columns, heavy graphics, or unusual fonts. Those elements often break parsing and make your qualifications hard to find.
Don’t cram every duty into long paragraphs. Use short bullet points that start with strong verbs like "operated," "inspected," or "repaired." Quantify results when you can, for example, "reduced downtime by 15%."
Check for common mistakes like inconsistent dates, varied bullet styles, and mixed fonts. Keep the layout uniform, and proofread for clear, direct language.
