How to write a home staging resume
A good staging resume is short, specific and visual-friendly. Here is a simple structure that works for stager, assistant, warehouse and design roles.
1. Lead with a one-line summary
Open with a single sentence that says who you are and what you are looking for. For example: "Detail-focused staging assistant with two years of install experience, looking for a full-time role with a busy staging team."
2. Put your staging skills up top
Hiring managers scan for relevant skills first. List the ones that match the role: vacant and occupied staging, furniture install, inventory and warehouse work, styling to a design plan, color and space planning, and any software you use. If you are certified, say so here.
3. Show experience with outcomes
For each role, use two or three bullet points that focus on what you did and the result. "Staged 40+ occupied homes" or "Ran install days for a two-person crew" tells a manager more than a vague job description.
4. Include a portfolio link
Staging is visual. A link to before-and-after photos, even a simple gallery, sets you apart from applicants who only send text. Add it near your contact details.
5. Keep it to one page
Unless you have a decade of experience, one page is plenty. Cut anything that is not relevant to staging.
Stand out further. A recognised certification is one of the easiest things to add to a resume that immediately signals credibility. See our certification page to learn more.
