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 product managers should default to, since most Australian recruiters and ATS software expect it.
Professional summary
Product Manager with a track record of turning market research and user feedback into shipped features that solve real problems. Comfortable moving between strategic roadmap conversations and the detail of writing requirements for engineering teams. Works well across design, engineering and marketing to get products from concept to launch.

Experience: example bullet points
- Defined product strategy and quarterly roadmaps by combining market research with direct user feedback, keeping engineering priorities aligned to business goals
- Wrote and prioritised feature requirements in Jira for cross-functional engineering teams, reducing back-and-forth clarification during sprint planning
- Analysed user behaviour and product metrics in Mixpanel and Amplitude to identify drop-off points, informing changes that lifted feature adoption
- Coordinated with designers, engineers and marketing on product launches, keeping cross-team timelines on track from build through to release
- Ran user interviews and competitive intelligence gathering to validate feature ideas before committing engineering time
Education
Typically a bachelor degree in business, commerce, IT or a related discipline, though a meaningful share of Product Managers move into the role from business analyst, UX or engineering backgrounds without a postgraduate qualification. Certifications such as Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or AIPM credentials are common add-ons rather than entry requirements.
Keywords an ATS is likely to scan for
Applicant tracking systems match your resume against terms in the job ad before a person ever sees it. Only include the ones that actually apply to your experience, but if a term below matches something you've done, use the same wording the job ad uses.
- Product roadmap
- Agile
- Scrum ceremonies
- Sprint planning
- Jira
- Confluence
- Figma
- Mixpanel
- Amplitude
- Business requirements analysis
- Stakeholder management
- User research
- Go-to-market
- OKRs
- Product-market fit
- Backlog prioritisation
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.
