A Trade Resume is Required in the 21st Century

"Blue-collar" resumes are really no different than "white-collar" resumes, so what is the purpose of a separate page on the subject?

Until recently, many trades workers didn't require a resume and cover letter. Today they do. Every advertisement, job board, or hiring manager will request that applicants provide a resume and cover letter. Hiring managers, construction managers, oil field supervisors, etc. need a way to screen out unsuitable applicants. This reduces time and money spent interviewing candidates who are not qualified for the position available.

In the past, workers secured positions by who they knew and by applying directly at the job site with their work boots and lunch kit in hand. Many were hired on the spot - amazing how times change. Please don't get us wrong: going directly to the site prepared is still a great way to go about it, but carry a powerful resume with you.

Many skilled workers work hard all day long using their hands, but do not know how to develop a professional marketing document that will get them in the door. Unfortunately, for this reason, many workers who are qualified for an available position are not given an interview. Don't be left in the dark - have your resume professionally designed to "kick butt" over your competition. We realized that there was a real need for a service specifically catering to the "hard-working people," so we developed a website just for the trades industry: A Trade Resume is Required in the 21st Century
