A clean starting structure with example content grounded in what rideshare drivers actually do day to day, not generic filler. Download and replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
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 rideshare drivers should default to, since most Australian recruiters and ATS software expect it.

Experience: example bullet points
- Completed a high volume of passenger trips across metropolitan and airport runs while maintaining a driver rating above 4.8 stars.
- Cut average passenger wait at pick up by repositioning into high demand areas ahead of peak periods rather than waiting for the next request.
- Resolved fare disputes and route complaints in the app before they escalated, keeping repeat bookings from regular passengers.
- Kept the vehicle clean, fuelled and roadworthy with a documented pre shift check, avoiding any cancelled trips from vehicle faults.
- Managed navigation, road closures and changed pick up points in real time, with late arrivals kept rare even on event nights.
- Handled in app payments, toll reconciliation and trip records accurately, with no unresolved fare adjustments.
Education
No formal qualification is required. The realistic pathway is a full Australian driver licence held for the period your state regulator requires, a driver accreditation or driver authority issued by the state passenger transport regulator, a national police check, and a registered vehicle with commercial passenger vehicle insurance. Many drivers enter after completing a Certificate III, diploma or degree in an unrelated field.

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.
