How to Format Your Mining Resume for Maximum Impact| Mining Resume Writing Foundations

Описание: Your resume content is solid. But is the format helping you or hurting you?In this video, I show you visual formatting options that make your resume easier to scan, more professional, and more memorable—without sacrificing ATS compatibility.

What you'll learn:

Why visual formatting matters (hiring managers scan, they don't read)
How to use icons and sidebars to organize information
The difference between hard skills and soft skills (and why both need to be visible)
How to display language proficiency visually (dots, bars, or descriptive terms)
Why adding interests can actually help (when done right)
Visual resume examples: graduate chemical engineer
Visual resume examples: senior geologist
The truth about language proficiency claims (and why dishonesty gets caught)
Tools you can use: Canva, Resume.io, Quick Resume
PDF vs. Word format (and when each matters)

I spent 20+ years in the mining industry as an engineer, trainer, and hiring manager. I've seen resumes that bury great experience under terrible formatting. I've also seen mediocre candidates get interviews because their resume was easy to scan and visually clean.

Formatting isn't everything—but it's the first thing a hiring manager sees.
