Electrician resume example

Contractors hiring electricians want to see license status, code fluency, and how fast a candidate closes out inspections — not a generic list of "electrical repairs."

This example puts license status up top, names NEC and OSHA credentials, and quantifies job volume and first-pass inspection rates so a hiring manager can gauge reliability at a glance.
