IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Our trades resume writing service is for you if any of these sound familiar.
Your resume lists tickets and duties, not what you've delivered
You have run jobs, kept crews safe, hit deadlines and worked on projects worth millions - but your resume reads like a list of tasks and a pile of tickets at the bottom of page two.
You want to get off the tools
Stepping up to leading hand, foreman, supervisor, estimator, WHS or project coordination means your resume has to sell your leadership, planning and commercial sense - not just your trade.
This service is for you
You're changing sector or coming in from overseas
Moving from residential to commercial, construction to mining or FIFO, contracting to a permanent role, or bringing an overseas trade qualification into Australia - your experience needs repositioning for a different audience.
This service is for you
Not sure if this is the right fit?
Submit your resume for a free review and a specialist will tell you honestly what needs to change and which service, if any, makes sense for you.

WHY TRADESPEOPLE CHOOSE CV PEOPLE
We understand how trade hiring actually works.
Trade hiring is fast and blunt. A recruiter or site manager scans for the licence, the tickets and the type of work you have done - in about ten seconds. If it is not obvious, you are gone. Our specialists know exactly what to put where.
Licences, tickets and certs positioned up front
White Card, trade licence, HR/MR/HC, EWP, working at heights, confined space, first aid - laid out where they get seen, worded the way job ads word them, with numbers and expiry dates where they matter.
Seen in ten seconds.
ATS-optimised for trade roles
Seek, recruiters and tier-one contractors all screen with software before a human reads a word. We write to pass those filters with the terminology used in your trade.
Past the filters first.
Trade-specific language for your discipline
Electrical, plumbing, carpentry, fitting, diesel, HVAC and civil trades each have their own vocabulary, standards and equipment. Your writer writes in the language of your trade, not generic corporate speak.
Trade-native writing.
Matched with a trades specialist
On the tools, leading hand, foreman, estimator or workshop manager all need different positioning. You are matched with the consultant best suited to your trade and the roles you are going for.
Specialists. Matched to you.

WHY A SPECIALIST MATTERS
CV People trades specialist vs a generic resume service.
A trade resume lives or dies on whether your tickets are visible and your work is described the way site managers think about it. A generic writer does not know what a leading hand does, let alone how to sell one.
