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

Experience: example bullet points

  • Serviced and repaired engines, clutches, gearboxes and drive systems across road, dirt and touring models, keeping same-bike comebacks low and turnaround on schedule.
  • Diagnosed electrical, fuel injection and electronic control faults using HDS, Yamaha Diagnostic System and TEXA IDC5, including intermittent faults other workshops had sent back twice.
  • Rebuilt and tuned suspension, brake and wheel assemblies, covering fork seals, shock revalving and hydraulic bleeds, and restoring handling and lever feel on customer machines.
  • Road tested completed jobs on a set route taking in city traffic, hard braking and low speed manoeuvring, catching assembly and adjustment issues before handover.
  • Ordered parts and maintained job cards, service records and warranty paperwork so claims were approved without rework or missing evidence.
  • Explained faults and repair options to riders in plain terms and agreed scope before work started, which cut disputed invoices noticeably.

Education

Certificate III in Motorcycle Mechanical Technology (AUR30816) completed through an apprenticeship, with some mechanics adding a Certificate IV in Automotive Mechanical Diagnosis or manufacturer-specific training.

Keywords an ATS is likely to scan for

Applicant tracking systems match your resume against terms in the job ad before a person ever sees it. Only include the ones that actually apply to your experience, but if a term below matches something you've done, use the same wording the job ad uses.

Getting past ATS screening

This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Tailor every bullet point to your own real experience and the specific job ad.
