Choose a clean, single-column template for a Fumigator. Use a reverse-chronological layout so employers see your field experience first.
Keep the resume short. One page works for entry and mid-career fumigators. Use two pages only if you have long, relevant work history or certifications.
Pick an ATS-friendly font like Calibri or Arial. Use 10-12pt body text and 14-16pt headers. Keep line spacing at 1.0–1.15 and add clear margins for white space.
Structure your content with clear headings: Contact, Summary, Experience, Certifications, Training, Skills, and References. List pesticide licenses, safety training, and equipment skills near the top.
Avoid heavy graphics, multi-column layouts, and unusual fonts. Those elements break parsing and distract hiring managers.
Common mistakes include dense blocks of text, vague job entries, and missing dates. Use short bullet lines that start with strong action verbs. Quantify results, for example, 'Completed 300+ treatments with zero safety incidents.'
Keep formatting consistent. Use the same bullet style, date format, and alignment across the resume. That small polish shows attention to detail, which matters for field safety roles.
