Why Meridian suits an airport ground staff resume
Meridian prints a short summary, labelled skills rows and then experience, in plain black and grey. Ramp supervisors check equipment qualifications and safety training first, so skills above the jobs answer their first question.
Second choice: FAANGPath. FAANGPath has the same skills-first order with full-width rules, a fit for cargo or fuelling roles.
What goes in each section, in Meridian's order
Meridian prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.
- Professional Summary. Your ramp roles (bag loading, marshalling, pushback, de-icing, cargo), aircraft types and one result such as on-time turns.
- Skills. Equipment qualifications first (tugs, belt loaders, pushback tractors, de-icing trucks), then safety and procedures.
- Work Experience. Bullets on turns per shift, on-time turns, loading accuracy, safety record and training.
- Education. High school diploma or training course with the year.
- Certifications. Ramp, airside driving and hazardous materials awareness training with the issuer and year.

Equipment qualifications, turns per shift, on-time results and safety. Supervisors also look for reliability in all weather and on night shifts.

Should I list security training?
Mention that you hold the required badge and training, but do not describe security procedures.

One page.
