Get My Resume Built — From $29.99Most tradespeople list job duties — installed ductwork, supervised crew, performed maintenance. Every applicant says the same thing. What separates callbacks from silence is specificity: project dollar value, crew size, license credentials, and systems installed. Below is a real-world example with annotations explaining every decision.
This is the difference between a resume that gets filtered out and one that gets a callback.
Annotated to show exactly why each section is written this way.
Journeyman sheet metal worker and foreman with 14 years of commercial HVAC experience. Managed crews of 8–15 on casino, hospital, and high-rise projects. OSHA 30 certified. Known for zero-defect installations, on-time delivery, and crew development.
It states trade, level, years of experience, and the scale of projects in two sentences. A GC or mechanical contractor reads this in 6 seconds and knows whether your scope matches their projects. No filler.
Every bullet has a number — project dollar value, crew size, waste reduction percentage. Generic 'supervised crew members' bullets get ignored. Numbers and project scale get read. ATS systems also scan for specific terms like 'prefab coordination,' 'RFI,' and 'MEP.'
Journeyman cards, OSHA certifications, and EPA licenses are screening criteria — not nice-to-haves. If they're not listed clearly, you may get filtered out before a human reviews your resume. License numbers and union affiliations confirm standing.
