Fictional candidate, employment and qualifications for illustration. This shows the simple single-column structure of our downloads; exact spacing and page breaks vary. Your resume uses your own experience and qualifications.

What to make easy to find

Most people aren’t rejected because they’re unqualified — they’re rejected because the resume isn’t structured for screening. This example shows what scan-friendly looks like.

Tickets/licences aren’t obvious in the top third.
Bullets read like a job ad (tasks only, no reliability signals).
No FIFO/site readiness language (kitchen/crib/dining/housekeeping).
Too much text — recruiters skim in seconds.

What recruiters scan first

Tickets & licences: easy to find in the top third of the page.
FIFO/site language that matches the role: cleaning, housekeeping, kitchen utility, crib and dining.
Short bullets that show outcomes and reliability, not long task lists.
Availability and roster flexibility, only if you can genuinely support it.

Suggested structure

Target role: FIFO Utility Worker. Describe existing cleaning or hospitality experience separately; a target role does not imply previous FIFO experience.

Professional Summary: a short paragraph linking your actual cleaning or hospitality work to the utility role.

Key Skills: specific skills supported by your work history, such as commercial cleaning, restocking and food hygiene.

Tickets & Licences: list what you actually hold. If not held, do not claim it.

Employment History: employer, role, dates and a few clear bullets explaining the work you actually completed.

Why this example works

The target role is clearly separated from the candidate's current cleaning and hospitality experience. It does not claim previous FIFO or mine-site work.

The work-history bullets show specific tasks: cleaning shared areas, restocking supplies and supporting meal service. Replace these fictional examples with work you have actually done.

The sample lists a manual driver licence and White Card as held by the fictional candidate. Your resume should list only your own qualifications; check the vacancy for any additional requirements.

Common mistakes

Copying the job ad into your resume.
Burying tickets and licences at the bottom or mixing them into paragraphs.
Bullets that only list tasks with no outcomes or reliability signals.
Claiming site experience or clearances you do not have.

FAQs

Should I include rosters like 2/1, 3/1 or 8/6?

Only if you are genuinely available for those rosters. If unsure, keep it general and truthful.

Do I need to list every cleaning task?

No. Use 4–8 bullets that show standards, safety, reliability and pace. Recruiters want evidence you can handle the environment.
