Which resume format should you use?
Reverse chronological
You have a steady work history. This is the format almost every recruiter and ATS expects by default.
Functional
You're changing fields or have gaps in your employment. Leads with skills rather than a job-by-job timeline.
Combination
You're early career or have worked consistently but for only a few employers. Blends a skills summary with a shorter chronological history.
This template uses the reverse chronological format: the one most bicycle mechanics should default to, since most Australian recruiters and ATS software expect it.

Experience: example bullet points
- Serviced and repaired bicycles and e-bikes in a busy retail workshop, returning bikes to riders with the reported fault resolved first time.
- Trued wheels and tensioned spokes on a truing stand, bringing out-of-round rims back within tolerance and cutting follow-up visits from the same customers.
- Replaced and adjusted chains, cables and tyres, matching component spec to how the rider actually used the bike so replacements lasted.
- Diagnosed e-bike motor, battery and controller faults using Shimano E-Tube Project and Bosch eBike Diagnostic Software, then explained the finding in plain language.
- Advised customers on repair options, timelines and costs, helping them weigh a repair against a replacement without overselling either.

Getting past ATS screening
- Match the specific skills, certifications and terms used in the job ad, not just your own wording for the same thing.
- Keep formatting simple: no tables, text boxes, columns, headers/footers or graphics. Parsers frequently drop content placed in these.
- Submit as .docx or PDF unless the job ad specifies otherwise.
- Use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) rather than creative alternatives.
- List your core skills and technical competencies in their own section so a keyword scan can find them instantly.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Tailor every bullet point to your own real experience and the specific job ad.
