How to tailor your resume for a Radiologic Technologist role

A screener on a Radiologic Technologist posting checks certification and modality before reading further, because each modality credential widens or narrows which openings you fit. Tailoring means moving your credential and modality list to the top and matching the modality the posting names.

Four moves for this posting
  1. Put your certification and each modality credential in the top section, matching the exact modality the posting names; recruiters search for that credential text directly.
  2. State exams per shift and the equipment you ran, matching manufacturer names if the posting lists one; volume plus equipment tells them how fast you can start.
  3. Move trauma, portable, or OR experience above routine outpatient bullets when the posting mentions an emergency or inpatient setting; that experience is the scarce kind.
  4. Match your modality mix to the posting's stated needs and lead with the one it emphasizes; a resume leading with an unrelated modality reads like the wrong fit.
The fact behind this

The claim that ATS systems auto-reject 75 percent of resumes traces to a 2012 marketing claim, not research. (traced to a 2012 vendor marketing claim)
