Certified phlebotomist (CPT through NHA) with four years of draws in a 300-bed hospital lab and two outpatient draw stations. Comfortable at 50 to 70 sticks a shift, including pediatric and hard-stick patients. I label and process specimens in Epic Beaker and my mislabel record is clean.

Resume tips for phlebotomists

• →Put your draw volume in the first bullet. 'Averaged 60 draws per shift' tells a lab manager more than any adjective.
• →Name the settings you have worked. Hospital floor draws and plasma center draws are different jobs to a hiring manager.
• →Call out pediatric, geriatric, or hard-stick experience by name. Those are the draws labs struggle to staff.
• →List the lab systems you have used, like Epic Beaker. Recruiters search for system names.
• →If you have a clean labeling record or a low redraw rate, say so plainly. A specific accuracy claim beats a buzzword.
• →Spell out your cert the first time, like Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT), so both versions hit ATS keyword matches.
