Why Trades Assistant resumes get ignored
Most people aren’t rejected because they’re unqualified — they’re rejected because the resume isn’t structured for screening. This example shows what scan-friendly looks like.
- Tickets listed vaguely or implied instead of factual.
- No practical detail (tools, housekeeping, parts handling).
- Doesn’t show pace/reliability for shutdown work (if true).
- Reads generic instead of site-ready.
What recruiters scan first
- Safety basics: manual handling, housekeeping, hazard reporting and permits if genuinely experienced.
- Tools and practical support: hand tools, basic maintenance support, spotting, cleaning and parts handling.
- Work ethic: turn up, follow instructions and keep areas safe and organised.
- Tickets: White Card, forklift, confined space and working at heights only if held.
Suggested structure
Headline: Trades Assistant | Maintenance Support | Shutdown Support.
Summary: safety mindset, practical support and learning attitude.
Skills: tool handling, housekeeping, parts handling, assisting trades and following procedures.
Tickets & Licences: list only what you have.
Employment History: show real examples of support work, pace and safety.

FAQs
Should I include a tool list?
Yes, but keep it short and relevant. A focused list beats a giant list that looks inflated.
What if I do not have many tickets yet?
That is okay. Do not invent them. Emphasise safety, reliability and transferable experience.
