A cable installer resume that begins with an appealing profile/summary section is highly effective and if the section is strong enough to grab the reader’s attention, consider half of the resume’s job done. Summary is typically the first section of your resume that follows your name and contact details.
The first few seconds out of the total 15-20 seconds the prospective employer will spend on your resume will be invested in reading this part. Considering that this is your first and only chance of making a favorable impression on the reader, it must be drafted very carefully in an employer centered manner.
As this is a highly technical job, you should put a special focus on writing your areas of expertise and professional achievements and relevant experience. Refer to the sample below to get a better idea.
