Credit analyst resume template
Short answer
Henrietta suits a credit analyst: a conventional banking layout, with summary and experience first and the finance degree straight after, that reads like the credit memos you write. The fictional sample is a commercial credit analyst at an Iowa community bank who underwrites business, real estate and farm loans, with deal sizes, memos for loan committee, a covenant problem caught early, ratings that held up in loan review and a promotion from analyst I.

Why Henrietta suits a credit analyst resume
Henrietta is the plain business layout of the seven: left-aligned name, black and grey hairlines, summary then experience then education. Bank credit departments are conservative readers, and the unlabelled three-column skills grid suits short items such as spreading, global cash flow and covenant testing.
Second choice: FAANGPath. FAANGPath puts labelled skill rows above the jobs, better for an analyst moving toward credit modeling, where tools and languages lead.
What goes in each section, in Henrietta's order
Henrietta 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. Lender type and size, loan types (C&I, commercial real estate, agricultural, SBA), the deal size range and the portfolio you monitor. A credit officer wants the scale in the first two lines.
- Work Experience. Requests underwritten a year, deal size range, credit memos and committee presentations, covenant and annual review work, and any early warning you raised. A promotion from analyst I to II goes here as two entries under the same bank.
- Education. Finance, accounting or economics degree with the year; Henrietta prints it right after the jobs. Add a bank credit training program on its own line if your employer ran one.
- Skills. The grid has no labels, so lead with analysis (spreading, global cash flow, debt service coverage, collateral), then systems (spreading software, loan origination system, Excel), then memo writing.

How to make the sample yours
Say which loans you analyze
C&I, owner-occupied and investor real estate, construction, agricultural, SBA: each needs different analysis, and a hiring credit officer looks for the ones on their own desk.
Give deal sizes and volume
Requests per year and the range from smallest to largest. A $500,000 line of credit and a $15 million construction loan are different jobs.
Show judgment, not only spreads
A risk you raised, a structure you suggested, a covenant you recommended. Spreading is the entry skill; the analysis is what moves an analyst up.
Cite loan review agreement
If your risk ratings held up when loan review or examiners sampled your files, give the rate. It is direct evidence of sound judgment.
Keep borrowers anonymous
Describe industries and deal types, never borrower names or figures that would identify them.
Keywords to keep where they are true
Terms this kind of resume is usually searched for. Use the posting's exact wording, and only for work you have done.

Frequently asked questions
How is a credit analyst resume different from a loan officer resume?
A loan officer resume leads with relationships, production and pipeline. A credit analyst resume leads with analysis: deals underwritten, memos written, risks raised and how your ratings held up.
How do I show a promotion from credit analyst I to II?
List both titles under the bank with their dates, and make the newer bullets show more independence: larger deals, committee presentations, mentoring newer analysts.
Should a credit analyst list software?
Yes: the spreading tool, the loan origination system and your Excel skills. Keep the list to systems you use every week.
How do I move from accounting or audit into credit?
Lead with financial statement analysis, cash flow work and the client industries you know well, then any credit training you have finished.
How long should a credit analyst resume be?
One page for most analysts; two once you manage a portfolio or supervise other analysts.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Henrietta PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 4 section headings and all 8 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
