Choose a clean, professional template for a Dot Net Architect. Pick a reverse-chronological layout so hiring managers see your recent architecture and leadership roles first.
Keep length tight. Aim for one page if you have under 10 years of architecture work. Use two pages only when you list many relevant projects, patents, or team leadership roles.
Use ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, Georgia, or Garamond. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt. Leave enough white space and consistent margins so reviewers can scan your skills and project names.
Structure sections with clear headings: Contact, Summary, Skills, Professional Experience, Selected Projects, Education, Certifications. Put technical skills and architecture frameworks near the top so they’re obvious to both people and an ATS.
Avoid complex layouts for a Dot Net Architect role. Don't use multiple columns, embedded images, or nonstandard fonts. Those elements often break parsing and hide key details.
Watch common mistakes. Don’t cram every entry into long paragraphs. Avoid vague bullet points without results. Drop unrelated early-career jobs that add noise. Keep bullets concise and use metrics where you can.
Prioritize clarity over flair. Use consistent spacing, uniform bullet styles, and simple bolding for titles. That helps reviewers judge your design, system decisions, and leadership clearly.
