FAQ
Questions about this HVAC technician resume example
Short answers to what people ask before they send this resume.
Use this exampleDoes an OSHA card count as a certification?
No. OSHA states that an Outreach course is neither a certification nor a license. Write it as the course and the year and let the reader decide what it is worth.
Do I list every jobsite I have worked?
List employers, not sites. Under each, name the kind of work and the scale. A list of addresses reads as filler; a list of scopes reads as capability.
What if my work history has gaps?
Seasonal and project work is normal in the trades. Use years rather than months, and account for long gaps in one plain line. An unexplained gap invites a worse guess than the truth.
