5 TIPS TO BOOST YOUR AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN RESUME
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:
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
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
Training and certification are very important. Be sure to include essential educational qualifications in your application
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
NO. We do not actively find people a sponsor. However, most our clients positions do offer sponsorship. Therefore, we can only facilitate employment with 457 work visa sponsorship, but only if we have currently open and suitable role for you, and you have been selected by any of our client companies for hiring. We do not have the bandwidth to search for job opportunities for every applicant. Hence, there has to be a genuinely available position for which you are qualified and have successfully been chosen for a job offer at the end of the recruitment process.
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.
