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 conveyor belt splicers should default to, since most Australian recruiters and ATS software expect it.

Experience: example bullet points
- Spliced fabric and steel cord conveyor belts using hot vulcanising presses, completing belt changeouts inside planned shutdown windows.
- Prepared belt ends by measuring, squaring, stripping covers and cutting splice steps so joints met alignment and step tolerance on first inspection.
- Inspected belts for edge damage, cover wear and splice lifting, logging defects in SAP PM so repairs were planned before a failure stopped the line.
- Corrected belt misalignment on transfer and drift conveyors using laser alignment tools, cutting repeat edge damage across the section.
- Maintained vulcanising presses, splice kits and cutting tools, returning equipment to service after each shutdown and flagging items needing replacement.
- Worked to isolation and permit procedures in confined and elevated locations, completing take 5 and JSA reviews with the crew before starting.
- Coordinated with fitters, belt attendants and supervisors during shutdowns to sequence splices and hand the conveyor back by the agreed time.
Education
Certificate III in Resource Processing or Certificate III in Engineering (Mechanical Trade), combined with site inductions such as Standard 11 or an equivalent state mining induction, a current Coal Board Medical, working at heights and confined space entry training, and verification of competency (VOC) for belt splicing tasks. Many splicers enter through a traineeship or from a fitter, belt attendant or fixed plant background.

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.
