Radiologic technologist resume template
Short answer
Catalyst suits an experienced radiologic technologist: it opens on your current job and prints no summary, so modalities, exam volume and settings are read first, and the headline carries your ARRT credentials because certifications print near the end. The fictional sample covers emergency, portable and outpatient x-ray at a hospital and cross-trained into CT, after two years at an orthopedic clinic.

Why Catalyst suits a radiologic technologist resume
Catalyst begins with work experience and prints no summary, which suits a technologist whose current settings (emergency department, portables, CT) and volumes make the case. The headline under the large left-aligned name carries the ARRT credentials, and teal headings over full-width rules keep modalities, jobs and credentials clearly apart.
Second choice: Meridian. Meridian keeps a summary and puts skills above experience, better for a new graduate whose clinical rotations and modalities matter more than jobs.
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. Modalities and settings in each job (emergency, inpatient portables, OR, outpatient, clinic), exams per shift, and the safety and quality work you do. Cross-training gets its own bullet with dates.
- Skills. Exams and procedures on the Technical row (general radiography, portables, fluoroscopy, CT protocols, contrast screening, radiation protection) and systems on the Tools row: PACS, RIS, scanner families.
- Education. Radiologic technology program with the degree and year; the BLS says an associate degree is the typical education for the job.
- Certifications. Each ARRT credential with the year, a state license or permit where required, and BLS. They print near the end in Catalyst, so the headline repeats them.

How to make the sample yours
List modalities honestly
Put the disciplines you hold credentials in first, then those you are training in, with dates.
Name your settings
Trauma bay, OR, portables, outpatient, orthopedic clinic, urgent care: imaging managers match technologists to shifts by setting.
Show safety practice
Repeat-image reviews, pediatric protocols and dose habits show care with radiation in a way a reader can check.
Add your state credential
Most states license or certify radiologic technologists; list yours with its exact title.
New graduate version
Replace jobs with clinical rotations (site, modalities, rough exam counts) and pick a template that prints a summary.

Frequently asked questions
How do I list ARRT credentials on a resume?
In the headline and under certifications, one line per discipline with the year. ARRT says its certification rests on education, ethics and examination requirements, and lists computed tomography among the postprimary disciplines you can add after a primary credential.
Do radiologic technologists need a state license?
In most states, yes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says most states require radiologic technologists to be licensed or certified, and employers typically require or prefer certified technologists. Add your state credential with its exact title.
How do I show cross-training in CT or MRI?
Give it a bullet with dates and exam types under the job where you trained, then add the credential once you earn it.
Should a new graduate list clinical rotations?
Yes: sites, modalities and rough exam counts. They are your experience until your first job.
How long should a radiologic technologist resume be?
One page. Modalities, settings, volumes and credentials fit easily.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Catalyst 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.
