Pick a clean, professional template for a Video Manager. Use reverse-chronological layout so your recent projects and leadership appear first.
Keep length to one page if you have under 10 years of direct video team or production leadership. Use two pages only if you have long-form credits, multiple shows, or large budgets to show.
Use simple, ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri, Arial, Georgia, or Garamond. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt so sections remain scannable.
Give each section clear headings: Contact, Summary, Experience, Projects, Skills, Education, Tools. Use bullet lists for achievements and a short project list for major productions.
Keep white space. Use 0.4–0.6 inch margins and single or 1.15 line spacing so the page breathes. Align dates and job titles to the right or left consistently for easy skimming.
Avoid heavy graphics, complex columns, or icons that break parsing. Simple formatting beats creative layouts when you want both a human and an ATS to read your resume reliably.
Watch these common mistakes: long paragraphs, vague role descriptions, and missing metrics. Show outcomes like viewer growth, budget size, or time saved.
Also avoid excessive color, custom fonts, or embedded videos that stop ATS parsing. Use a link to your reel or portfolio instead of embedding large files.
