What do employers in the trades look for in a resume?

Put licenses, tickets and safety cards near the top with their numbers or levels. Without them you cannot be sent to site.
Name the kind of work: residential, commercial, industrial, or the materials and processes you are qualified in.
Safety record and rework are the numbers that matter. Days without a lost-time incident and inspections passed first time say you can be trusted.
