How to format your resume

  • •Use standard headings and a text-based file in the format requested by the application.
  • •Verify dates, titles, education, credentials, and every field imported into the application.
Don't
  • •Do not claim knowledge of Raytheon's internal ATS, scoring rules, or recruiter thresholds.
  • •Do not copy company values into a summary without evidence from your work.
  • •Do not invent metrics or imply that estimates were measured results.

Frequently asked questions

Does this score simulate Raytheon's hiring system?

No. The preliminary score checks general recruiter-skim signals in your resume. It does not reproduce Raytheon's internal systems or predict a hiring decision.

Should I use the same resume for every Raytheon role?

Use one accurate base resume, then select the experience, skills, and results that match the specific posting. Do not change facts or add unsupported keywords.

Which file format should I submit?

Follow the format requested in the posting or application. Keep the document text-based and verify any information Raytheon's application extracts from it.
