RBT Resume Sample

A compelling resume is the key to finding your ideal RBT job.

By Kathleen Walder, Monster Contributor

You’ve recently completed the 40-hour RBT course, passed the competency assessment and background check, and successfully passed the BACB exam to become a registered behavior technician. You’re ready to get the job you’ve prepared for. But there’s one more step in your journey—to create a compelling RBT resume. And if you’ve worked as an RBT and are ready to change workplaces or move up, you’ll need to refresh yours. 

Are you ready to get started, but don’t know how? One option is to use a resume builder, a simple tool that helps you through the process.

Alternatively, we suggest you start at the beginning with your professional summary that states what kind of job you’re looking for and gives a recruiter or hiring manager a snapshot of your qualifications. The resume sample below has a well-written professional summary to use as a guide.

And while words are important in a resume, in a data-driven job like behavior analysis, numbers can make an even bigger impression on a hiring manager. Think of your achievements and support them with numbers. Talk about your case load, the size of the facility you worked in, or even your score on the BACB exam.
