Sleep Technologist resume example

A strong sleep technologist summary reads like this. Swap in your own numbers and settings:

RPSGT with five years running in-lab studies at a 6-bed AASM-accredited sleep center. I handle full PSG hookups using the 10-20 system plus CPAP and BiPAP titrations. I also run MSLTs and score my own studies to AASM guidelines, usually covering two patients a night. Looking for a lead tech role or a lab that also does home sleep testing.

How to list your credentials

List RPSGT or RST with the credentialing board and your credential number, plus BLS, each with the expiration date. If your state licenses sleep techs, add the state license on the same line.

Resume tips for sleep technologists

• →Lead with your credential and study volume. 'RPSGT, two beds a night' beats a paragraph about your passion for sleep medicine.
• →List the test types you run by name. PSG, CPAP and BiPAP titration, MSLT, and HSAT are all separate keyword searches.
• →Say whether you score your own studies and to what standard. Scoring to AASM guidelines is a skill labs pay attention to.
• →Name your acquisition and scoring software. Lab managers look for techs who already know their system.
• →If you have worked with pediatric patients or in an AASM-accredited lab, say so. Both narrow the candidate pool fast.
• →Night shift reliability is the quiet dealbreaker. A line like 'five years of full-time third shift' answers it before the interview.
