Do you write?:
detail-oriented
or just
detail oriented
I’m doing a resume and I’m not sure about this detail.

Actually, the answer isn't quite right. Multiple adjectives before a noun are hyphenated:
This is my long-range rifle.
If they are put after the noun, no hyphen:
This is the rifle I shoot at long range.
BTW, everyone is detail oriented. What's important is what details they are interested in. Only a certified compulsive is interested in all of them. Most companies don't hire *certified* compulsives.
