Why FAANGPath suits a document controller resume
FAANGPath prints a short summary, labelled skills rows and then experience, in black and grey. Project managers screen document controllers on systems such as Aconex or Procore first, and this compact page puts those rows above the jobs.
Second choice: Meridian. Meridian uses the same order with more space, a fit for senior controllers on large programs.
What goes in each section, in FAANGPath's order
FAANGPath 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. Industry, project type and value, systems, years of experience and one volume or audit result.
- Skills. Document systems, revision control, numbering standards, transmittals, submittals and reporting.
- Work Experience. Bullets on documents controlled, transmittals, submittal turnaround, registers, audits and training users.
- Education. Degree or diploma with the year.

Frequently asked questions
What should a document controller resume focus on?
Document volume, systems, turnaround, registers and audits. Project managers want a controller who keeps the right revision in everyone's hands and passes audits without surprises.
Which systems should I list?
The document platforms you use daily, such as Procore, Aconex or SharePoint, plus tools such as Bluebeam. Describe what you do in each, such as setting up workflows or numbering rules. If you set up a new project in the system, say so, because setup is a valued skill.
How do I move into document control from admin work?
Show filing, tracking and records work, plus any project or construction experience. Learning one construction document platform helps a lot.
Is this template right for oil, gas or engineering document control?
Yes. Replace construction details with engineering deliverables, vendor documents and the standards your industry uses. Name the deliverable registers you keep and the number of vendors you handle.
Should I mention ISO 9001?
Yes, if you work under a quality management system. Describe how you support it, such as controlled procedures or audit records. Mention any procedures you wrote, since auditors check them.
How long should the resume be?
One page for most controllers. Keep volume and systems at the top.
Will applicant tracking systems read this FAANGPath PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 4 section headings and all 9 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.
