Choose a clean, professional template with a reverse-chronological layout for an Escrow Officer role. This layout shows recent escrow work first and keeps dates and job titles easy to scan.
Keep your resume short and focused. One page works for early and mid-career officers, and two pages fit if you have long escrow, title, or compliance history.
Use ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, or Georgia. Use 10–12pt for body text and 14–16pt for headers to keep hierarchy clear.
Keep spacing consistent and leave white space around sections. Use 0.5–0.75 inch margins and 1.0–1.15 line spacing to boost readability.
List standard headings such as Contact, Summary, Experience, Certifications, Education, and Skills. Put escrow-specific certificates like NMLS or title insurance under Certifications or Licenses.
Avoid fancy columns, heavy graphics, or nonstandard fonts. Those elements often break ATS parsing and distract hiring managers who want clear dates, titles, and duties.
Common mistakes include long paragraphs, vague duties, and missing dates. Use short bullet points that start with action verbs and show measurable outcomes.
Proofread for consistent date formats, aligned margins, and uniform bullet styles. A tidy layout helps you look organized and precise, two key traits for an Escrow Officer.
