- 02 / 05Two columns for machine-screened jobs.Columns are the classic parse failure.
- 03 / 05Headers holding contact info.Parsers often skip headers entirely.
- 04 / 05Icon fonts for section markers.They render as boxes elsewhere.
- 05 / 05"One page always."One page early; two pages expected with a decade of relevant history.
FAQ
Questions about this sorority recruitment resume example
Short answers to what people ask before they send this resume.
Use this exampleOne page or two?
One until the content genuinely requires two — usually several years of relevant history. Length should follow what you have, not what you wish you had.
Which file format should I send?
PDF unless the posting asks for Word. PDF holds the layout; Word is what some applicant tracking systems still ask for.
Do fancy templates hurt?
The ones that break parsing do: columns, tables, text boxes, images and headers containing your contact details. A plain single column survives every system.
