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 radiologists should default to, since most Australian recruiters and ATS software expect it.

Experience: example bullet points
- Reported emergency and inpatient CT, MRI and ultrasound studies on a rotating roster, keeping urgent reporting turnaround consistent through overnight and weekend shifts.
- Performed ultrasound and CT-guided biopsies and drainages, adjusting approach on the table when initial access or patient positioning did not work.
- Introduced structured report templates for a high-volume abdominal study, which reduced clarifying phone calls from referring teams about ambiguous findings.
- Chaired a monthly discrepancy and quality review meeting, and turned the recurring themes into protocol changes adopted across the department.
- Supervised registrars and medical students on rotation, running weekly case reviews and giving direct feedback on draft reports before they were released.
Education

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.
