Pick a clean, professional template for an Eyeglass Maker role. Use a reverse-chronological layout if you have steady shop experience. Choose a simple one-column layout so ATS and hiring managers parse your skills easily.
Keep length tight. One page works for entry and mid-career makers. Use two pages only if you have many years of lens grinding, frame fitting, and shop management that directly apply.
Use ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, Georgia, or Garamond. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt. Keep line spacing at 1.0–1.15 and add clear margins so sections breathe.
Structure sections with standard headings. Use "Summary," "Skills," "Experience," "Education," and "Certifications." Put hands-on skills and tools early, like lens edging, hand polishing, and pad adjustments.
Avoid common layout mistakes. Don’t use heavy graphics, multiple columns, or images of your work that break parsing. Don’t use fancy fonts, tiny text, or cramped lines that hide details.
List achievements with short bullet points. Start bullets with strong verbs like "adjusted," "fabricated," and "repaired." Quantify results when possible, for example "reduced remakes by 30%" or "completed 80+ frames weekly."
