AI writes the bullet points. You just review.
ATS systems scan for specific keyword matches. Include as many of these skills as you genuinely have — the closer you match the job description, the higher your ATS score.
Start every bullet point with a strong action verb. These are the highest-impact verbs for Electrician resumes — specific, measurable, and ATS-approved.
Follow this structure to ensure recruiters find what they need — and ATS systems score your resume correctly.
Name, phone, professional email, LinkedIn URL, and city/state. In Trades, include any professional profile URLs relevant to your specialization.
2-3 sentences: your years of experience as a Electrician, your 2-3 signature strengths (e.g. Electrical Installation, NEC Code Compliance), and your career goal. Rewrite this for every application — it's the first thing an ATS and recruiter both read.
Company, title, dates, location — then 3-5 bullet points per role. Start every bullet with a strong verb like "Installed" or "Inspected" and quantify every outcome. Don't just describe tasks — prove impact with numbers, percentages, or dollar amounts tied to skills like Electrical Installation, NEC Code Compliance, Conduit Bending.
A dedicated skills block is the primary ATS filter for Electrician roles. Include: Electrical Installation, NEC Code Compliance, Conduit Bending, Panel Installation, Troubleshooting, Blueprint Reading, PLC Systems, OSHA Safety. Mirror the exact keyword phrasing from each job description — "React.js" and "ReactJS" can be scored differently.
Degree, institution, graduation year. In Trades, education goes after work experience once you have 3+ years of relevant professional history.
Certifications are a meaningful differentiator for Electrician positions in Trades. List the full certification name, the issuing body, and the year obtained. Active credentials with expiration dates should include the renewal date — employers in Trades actively verify these.
Journeyman or Master Electrician license is a primary filter. List state licenses held and OSHA 10/30 certifications.
