Pick a clean layout for a Floor Sanding Machine Operator. Use reverse-chronological order so your recent shop experience shows first.
Choose a one-page resume if you have under 10 years of related experience. Use two pages only if you have long service records or supervisory roles on many projects.
Use simple, ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, or Georgia. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt for clear hierarchy.
Keep line spacing at 1.0–1.15 and add a little space between sections. Let white space guide the reader to key details like certifications and safety training.
Use clear headings: Contact, Summary, Experience, Skills, Certifications, Education, Tools. Put certifications like OSHA or floor-finishing certificates in their own section.
List roles with employer, location, dates, and three to five bullets of impact. Start bullets with strong verbs like operated, calibrated, or restored.
Avoid complex columns, heavy graphics, or embedded images. Those elements often break parsing and hide key info from hiring managers.
Keep color minimal. Use one accent color for headings if you want a subtle touch. Avoid odd fonts and decorative icons.
Common mistakes: cluttered layout with tiny fonts, inconsistent date formats, vague job duties, and missing measurable outcomes. Show hours saved, square metres sanded, or stain rejection rates where possible.
Run your resume through a plain-text export to check structure. Fix any odd line breaks or garbled sections before you submit.
