Pick a clean, single-column template for a Ticket Taker. Use a reverse-chronological layout so your most recent venue and shifts show first.
Keep length to one page if you have under 10 years' venue experience. Use two pages only if you have long, relevant employment history at multiple venues or certifications.
Use plain, ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, Georgia, or Garamond. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt.
Leave clear white space between sections and use consistent margins. Use 0.5–0.75 line spacing for lists to improve skimmability.
Label sections with standard headings: Contact, Summary, Experience, Skills, Availability, Education. Keep headings exact so ATS can find them.
Use short bullets for duties and achievements. Start bullets with strong verbs like greeted, scanned, resolved, and reported.
Avoid columns, embedded images, and complex tables that break ATS parsing. Skip heavy colors and non-standard fonts that strip metadata.
List venue names, your role, dates, and three to five bullets per job. Quantify when you can, for example: scanned 1,200 tickets per event.
Proof for consistent date format and alignment. Check that phone, email, and city appear at the top of the page.
Watch these common mistakes: crowded text, unclear headings, and inconsistent spacing. Fix those and your resume will read quickly to recruiters and systems.
