Manufacturing Resumes Must Highlight Practical Skills

Manufacturing clients need to quickly assess whether candidates can operate specific equipment, hold required safety certifications, and have relevant production experience. Generic resume formats bury critical information. Safety certifications need prominent display with current dates. Equipment experience should list specific machines and proficiency levels. Production metrics help clients understand capability.

Manufacturing Staffing Resume Best Practices

Safety Certification Display

Manufacturing clients require current safety certifications prominently displayed. OSHA 10/30, forklift certification, first aid/CPR, and industry-specific safety training should include certification date, expiration, and issuing organization. Many positions won't consider candidates without current certifications.

Forklift

First Aid
First Aid/CPR/AED, CurrentKeep dates current

Equipment Proficiency Presentation

Manufacturing clients search for specific equipment experience. Organize equipment skills by category: machinery operated, tools and hand equipment, measurement instruments, and software systems (ERP, MES). Include proficiency levels and years of experience. Specific brand names matter—'CNC Haas VF-2' is more valuable than 'CNC machine experience'.

Production Metrics

Manufacturing clients value quantifiable achievements. Include production metrics where possible: units produced per shift, defect rates achieved, efficiency improvements, downtime reduction, and safety incident records. These numbers help clients quickly assess candidate capability and fit for their production environment.
