Factory worker resume questions
What do I put first if I have no factory experience?
Start with your education and your objective. Then add any packing, assembly or school shop work, and say where you did it.
Which skills should I list on a production operator resume?
Pick the ones the post asks for, like following work instructions and spotting defects. Keep it to five or so. Add safety rules and working in a team if they fit you.
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 Rodel-Pacheco-Resume.pdf.
