Tips

Tips for a automotive technician CV

Name the brands and systems

List the vehicle brands you have worked on most and the systems you know well, such as hybrids, diesel or automatic gearboxes.

Add manufacturer training

Courses from a car maker or dealer group show your skills are up to date. Give the course name and year.

Show hybrid and EV safety

If you are trained to work on high-voltage systems, put it in your certificates. More and more workshops ask for it.

Mention your diagnostic tools

Name the scan tools and software you use. It tells an employer you can find faults, not only change parts.

Show your skills assessment status

If you have started a skills assessment for another country, add it with its status, such as "In progress". Only add it if it is true.

Working abroad
