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

Experience: example bullet points
- Processed cash and card ticket sales at a busy venue box office, serving more than 300 patrons on peak show nights while keeping the counter queue moving.
- Issued tickets, passes and reprints using Ticketmaster and in-house POS systems, checking seat, session and concession details before completing each sale.
- Reconciled daily takings and float at the end of every shift, tracing discrepancies back to a transaction before handover.
- Answered enquiries about seating layouts, session times and pricing, resolving booking errors and rescheduling requests at the counter rather than escalating them.
- Supported queue management and entry checks during sold-out events, directing patrons to the correct door and flagging accessibility needs to venue staff early.
- Trained new casual staff on the POS workflow and cash reconciliation routine, which cut handover errors on the counter.
Education
Year 12 is the typical entry point and no formal qualification is required beyond that. A Certificate III in Retail or Business is a common addition, while POS and ticketing system training is usually provided on the job by the venue.

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.
