Electrician resume questions
Where do I put my TESDA certificate on an electrician resume?
Put it under your objective, so employers see it first. Write the certificate name and the year you passed.
Which skills should I pick for an electrician resume?
Pick the ones the post asks for, like reading plans and using a multimeter. Keep safety rules on the list.
Should I put my birthday or a photo on it?
Leave your birthday off. Since 2016, Republic Act 10911 has made it unlawful for employers in the Philippines to require your age or birth date while you apply. Leave the photo off too, unless the job post asks for one.
Should I send it as a PDF or a Word file?
PDF, unless the job post asks for Word. A PDF looks the same on every screen. Put your name in the file name, like Dennis-Fajardo-Resume.pdf.
