A Resume That Goes Beyond Daily Duties

Many trade and mid-career resumes contain lengthy lists of tasks but provide little evidence of the person’s reliability, technical ability or contribution.

Your new resume will place greater emphasis on areas such as:

• Technical and practical expertise
• Safe work practices
• Equipment and machinery operation
• Maintenance and fault finding
• Construction and project experience
• Productivity and efficiency improvements

• Teamwork and site coordination
• Customer and client service
• Supervisory and leadership responsibilities
• Training and mentoring
• Meeting deadlines and production targets
• Reducing downtime or delays
• Completing projects safely and efficiently
• Working across different sites and environments
• Managing competing priorities
• Solving operational or technical problems

Where possible, measurable information will be incorporated. This may include project values, equipment operated, production targets, team sizes, kilometres travelled, safety results, cost savings or other evidence of impact.

Presenting Licences, Tickets and Certifications

For trades, construction, transport, mining, logistics and technical roles, licences and tickets are often essential.

Your resume may include relevant credentials such as:

• Trade qualifications
• White Card
• High Risk Work Licence

• Excavator ticket
• Front-end loader ticket
• Skid steer ticket
• Working at Heights
• Confined Space Entry
• Traffic Control tickets
• First Aid and CPR

These details will be organised clearly so employers can quickly confirm your suitability.

This package is also suitable for experienced professionals who have several years of employment history and need to modernise or strengthen their application documents.

Your resume may highlight:

• Career progression
• Increased responsibility

The content will be structured to focus on the experience most relevant to your target opportunities.

The letter may highlight:

The cover letter can be tailored to a specific advertised position when you provide the job advertisement or position description.

Your documents can highlight transferable capabilities such as:

Your writer will reduce irrelevant information and give greater emphasis to the experience that supports your new career direction.

Tailored to Your Target Role

Your resume and cover letter can be written as strong general documents or tailored towards a particular employer, job or industry.

Providing a job advertisement or position description allows your writer to identify the terminology, skills and keywords most relevant to the opportunity.

• Manufacturing
• Utilities
