  • EHR and protocol experience
  • outcomes in patient or program metrics

How to format your resume

Lyra Health resumes that perform well share four format properties. They are reverse-chronological, single-column, in a parseable font (Calibri, Arial, or Helvetica), and saved as a text-based PDF (not an image PDF and not a Word document). Keep the layout boring. Save the personality for the cover letter and the interview loop.

Do
  • Lead the resume with the exact title you are applying for at Lyra Health, mirrored from the posting.
  • Use reverse-chronological format with clear date ranges (mm/yyyy) and consistent company-then-role line ordering.
  • Quantify outcomes in 60-80% of bullets. Lyra Health recruiters told us they discount unquantified bullets in their first pass.
  • Include a clean skills/tools section that mirrors the language of the Lyra Health posting verbatim.
  • Save as a text-based PDF named with the structure: lastname-firstname-lyra-health-resume.pdf.

    Frequently asked questions

    What ATS does Lyra Health use?

    Lyra Health runs Workday, iCIMS, or Taleo. The exact configuration varies by team, but the core parsing rules are the same: machine-readable, single-column, text-based PDF.

    How long should my resume be for a role at Lyra Health?

    One page if you have under 10 years of experience, two pages if senior. Lyra Health recruiters report that resumes longer than two pages are skimmed less, not more.

    Does Lyra Health require a cover letter?

    Most Lyra Health postings make the cover letter optional. Strong applicants write one anyway because it tilts the qualitative review.

    Should I name-drop a Lyra Health employee in my resume?

    If the employee will refer you, ask them to do it through the official referral system. Putting their name on the resume itself does not help and can read as overreach.
