Pick a clean, professional template that shows your ERP Developer experience clearly. Use a reverse-chronological layout so your most recent ERP projects and modules appear first. That layout reads well and parses reliably for applicant tracking systems.
Keep length to one page if you have under 10 years of directly relevant ERP work. If you led multiple full-lifecycle implementations or integrations over many years, extend to two pages but stay concise and relevant.
Use ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, Georgia, or Garamond. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt. Leave ample white space and consistent margins so hiring managers can scan your skills and accomplishments quickly.
Structure sections with standard headings: Summary, Experience, Projects, Technical Skills, Certifications, Education. Put ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.) and modules (FI/CO, MM, SD, etc.) in a Technical Skills section for easy parsing.
Avoid complex column layouts, heavy graphics, and nonstandard fonts. Those elements often break ATS parsing and distract reviewers. Use simple bullet points that start with a verb and quantify impact when you can.
Watch common mistakes. Don’t cram long paragraphs of duties. Don’t list irrelevant older roles. Don’t use tiny fonts, multi-column designs, or colorful icons that an ATS can’t read. Keep dates aligned and use consistent formatting for company names and roles.
