You know how to fix cars like the back of your hand. But without a resume that displays your extensive automotive knowledge, you may not even get the opportunity to showcase your skills and experience.
“Emphasize your strengths on your resume, in your cover letters, and in your interviews. It may sound obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people simply list everything they've ever done. Convey your passion and link your strengths to measurable results. Employers and interviewers love concrete data” says Marcus Buckingham, British author of the best-selling book First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently.
Before you get the coveted interviewer, it’s important to make your resume stand out to catch the attention of your prospective employers.
Below are essential items to include on your resume:
Work History
Indicate the number of years that you work as automotive technician, the companies you’ve worked for, the positions you held, what you have accomplished with your stay
Summary of Technical Skills
List the skills you believe are most demanded by the shop you're applying to work for: auto body repair, car tune-up, engine repair, HVAC service are some common examples
List of Training Programs Completed
Training and certification are very important. Be sure to include essential educational qualifications in your application
Focus on Strengths
Make it easier for employers to analyze you by emphasizing areas that you excel: good diagnostic skills, knowledgeable with up-to-date technology, great customer service skills
Your Contact Details
Don’t forget to mention how clients and employers get in touch with you, either to score an initial interview or for follow-up: mobile number, phone number, physical and email addresses and perhaps your Skype information for overseas applicants.
