Tailored Trades & Engineering Resume Template
Have you ever thought about how recruiters present your resume to clients? Many of us format your resume to boost your chances, while some go as far as tailoring it (which, in my opinion, should be your task). Regardless, recruiters often enhance your resume to make it shine when submitting it to their clients.
Ditch the generic templates and give this resume template a shot.
Purpose
This template was crafted to enhance your job application process, navigate the applicant tracking systems used by hiring managers, and capture their attention within seconds. A surprising statistic that often catches candidates off guard is that hiring managers typically spend just 7-10 seconds reviewing your resume before deciding whether to move you forward in the selection process.
Who Created This?
I'm Tom Millington, the creator of this template. With experience in hiring, coaching and recruiting thousands of candidates, I have a deep understanding of what makes a resume stand out. My track record speaks for itself, with a high success rate of candidates advancing from the shortlist stage to interviews.
Tips
● Stick to the resume design as provided
● List only 5-8 key responsibilities
● Incorporate statistics—numbers and percentages are impactful
● Use keywords from the job ad throughout your resume
● Tailor each resume to the specific job you’re applying for
● Bonus Tip: Under the qualifications section, add a new heading called "Systems" and list the software you’re proficient in, like SimPro, Acconex, Procore, etc
Results
I share content, tools, and advice free of charge with the hope that it will assist candidates in navigating the job market effectively.
In return, I ask that you share your successes, challenges, and constructive feedback with me.
