Why this resume works
- Licences and safety tickets are written in full words, because an ATS looks for exact terms such as "Red Seal".
- Each job names the type of site and the scale of the work: units, circuits, amps, crew size.
- Safety results are shown with numbers, for example days without a lost-time incident.
- Plain bullets and standard headings keep the file readable when uploaded to a job portal.
Before you copy it
- Write your licence number only on forms that ask for it, not in a public resume.
- List the tools and codes you really use, for example the Canadian Electrical Code and the site test equipment.
