E-learning developer resume template
Short answer
Catalyst suits an e-learning developer: it opens on your current role with no summary, so the courses you built and the tools you used come first, and a projects section can show a sample course. The fictional sample builds compliance and product courses for a software company in Storyline and Rise. Put your main tools in the headline and show courses, completion and accessibility work.

Why Catalyst suits an E-Learning developer resume
Catalyst prints no summary and opens on Work Experience under teal headings, below a large name and headline. E-learning managers hire on recent builds and tools, so leading with the current role and a projects section matches how they review candidates.
Second choice: Daniel. Daniel keeps a summary and puts skills first with keyword pills, a fit for designers moving into development.
What goes in each section, in Catalyst's order
Catalyst 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.
- Work Experience. Lead each job with course types and tools. Then courses built, learner reach, completion, accessibility and production speed.
- Skills. Authoring tools, SCORM and xAPI, LMS platforms, media tools and accessibility standards.
- Projects. One sample course or portfolio piece with what it teaches and how it was built.
- Education. Degree with the year; instructional technology degrees fit well.

Frequently asked questions
What should an e-learning developer resume focus on?
Courses built, tools, learner reach, completion and accessibility. Hiring managers want to see that you can produce working courses quickly and that people finish them.
Do I need a portfolio?
Almost always. Link to two or three short samples in your header and describe one in the projects section. Use content you are allowed to share or build a demo course.
What is the difference between an e-learning developer and an instructional designer?
Developers focus on building courses in authoring tools, while designers focus on learning goals and structure. Many roles mix both, so show whichever you do.
How do I show accessibility skills?
Name the standard, such as WCAG, and describe what you did: captions, keyboard navigation, screen reader tests and fixes to older courses.
Does Catalyst work without a summary?
Yes. The headline carries your tools and the first job carries your results. If you prefer a summary, Daniel or Meridian print one.
How long should the resume be?
One page for most developers. Let the portfolio carry the visual proof rather than adding pages.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Catalyst PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 4 section headings and all 10 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.
