If you're a Pricing Analyst, pick a clean, data-forward template. Use reverse-chronological layout so your recent pricing roles and measurable wins appear first.
Keep length tight. One page works if you have up to 10 years of direct pricing experience. Use two pages only if you have many relevant roles or publications to show.
Choose readable fonts like Calibri or Arial. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt. Keep consistent margins and plenty of white space so tables and numbers read easily.
Structure sections clearly with standard headings such as Summary, Experience, Skills, Tools, Education, and Certifications. Put key metrics under each role, like margin improvement, price tests, or revenue impact.
Layout matters for ATS. Avoid complex columns, images, and embedded objects that break parsing. Use simple bullet lists and left-aligned dates to help both software and hiring managers scan quickly.
Watch common mistakes. Don’t use flashy colors, decorative fonts, or long single blocks of text. Avoid vague phrases like "team player" without results. Don't hide tools like SQL, Tableau, or price optimization software in long paragraphs.
Use consistent date formats and job titles. Quantify achievements with percentages, dollar amounts, or test lift. End with a short skills list that names tools and methods the role needs.
