Pick a clean, professional template built for roles that mix operations and admin. Use a reverse-chronological layout so your recent facility projects and vendor management show up first. This layout reads well and keeps applicant tracking systems (ATS) happy.
Keep your resume short and focused. One page fits entry-level or mid-career Facility Coordinator roles. Use two pages only if you have many directly relevant sites, certifications, or long vendor histories.
Use simple, ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri or Arial. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt. Keep consistent margins and line spacing to give the document breathing room.
Structure your document with clear headings. Use standard labels like Contact, Summary, Experience, Skills, Certifications, and Education. That helps recruiters and ATS find the right info fast.
Avoid fancy graphics, tables, or multi-column layouts. Those elements often break ATS parsing and shift content around when opened in different systems. Stick to bullets and short lines for achievements and tasks.
Watch common mistakes. Don’t use nonstandard fonts or heavy color. Don’t cram too much text into one page. Don’t list every job duty; focus on measurable results like cost savings, downtime reduction, or vendor lead times.
Use action verbs and numbers to show impact. For example, write "cut vendor costs 12%" or "reduced response time to urgent repairs by 30%." Keep each bullet under two lines for quick scanning.
