Pick a clean, single-column template for a Headrig Sawyer. Use reverse-chronological layout so your recent field work shows first. Recruiters and ATS read left-to-right, so keep sections stacked.
Keep length tight. One page suits entry and mid-career Headrig Sawyers. If you have decades of directly relevant field projects, use two pages and cut older, minor roles.
Use simple, ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, or Georgia. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt. Leave generous margins and line spacing so readers can scan your roles and tools quickly.
Label sections with standard headings: Contact, Summary, Experience, Skills, Certifications, Education. Put measurable field achievements near the top of each job bullet. Use 3–6 bullets per role and start bullets with action verbs.
Avoid heavy visuals and columns. Fancy graphics and tables often break parsing. Stick to plain text for job titles, dates, and locations so ATS reads them cleanly.
Watch these common mistakes. Don’t cram text into narrow columns. Don’t use uncommon fonts or bright background colors. Don’t hide dates or use vague job titles. Keep verb tense consistent and use short bullets that show impact.
Finally, proofread for consistency. Align all dates and job titles the same way. Keep your contact info simple and put your trade certifications near the top if they matter for Headrig Sawyer roles.
