Introduction
If you are looking to become a Class A Driver or already are one and want to switch jobs – then you need to ensure that your resume is up-to-par. Your resume is essentially your first impression to potential employers, so it needs to be well-presented and clearly outline your skills and qualifications.
Formatting
- Use a clear and simple font, such as Arial or Times New Roman.
- Bullet points work well to help guide the reader's eye and make your resume easier to read.
- Use a font size between 10 and 12 points.
- Keep your resume to one or two pages maximum – employers will not want to sift through multiple pages to find what they are looking for.
- Ensure that your resume is well-structured and easy to follow – this will help you stand out from other applicants!
Content
- Start with a brief summary or objective – provide an overview of who you are and what you are seeking regarding your career.
- List your education and any relevant certifications.
- Provide an overview of your experience – list your driving experience and highlight any notable achievements.
- List your skills – highlight any special driving skills, such as ability to navigate difficult routes or work in adverse weather conditions.
- Use bullet points to present your information in a clear and concise manner.
- Mention any other relevant experience, such as experience with transportation/logistics or any other relevant industry knowledge.
- Be sure to mention any driving violations, accidents, or other relevant information that may affect your ability to drive.
Tips
- Customize your resume for each job you apply for - this shows that you have taken the time to ensure that you are a good fit for the specific job you are applying for.
- Proofread your resume carefully - spelling or grammar errors will not reflect well on you.
- Use action words such as "operated", "maintained", or "delivered" to highlight your accomplishments.
- Include any volunteer work or community service, especially if it relates to driving or transportation.
- Consider using a professional resume writing service if you are unsure about the quality of your resume – a well-written resume can increase your chances of getting hired.
