Tips

Tips for a dairy farm worker CV

Give your herd size and system

Say how many cows you worked with and the milking system, such as rotary or herringbone. Farm employers look for this first.

List the seasons you have worked

Calving, mating and harvest are busy times. Say which seasons you have worked through and what you did.

Add your machinery licences

List tractor, quad bike or other machinery licences and training, exactly as written, with the year.

Show you are happy with early starts

Dairy work starts early in all weather. A short line in your profile shows you know what the job is like.

Mention teamwork

Farms run on small teams. Say how you worked with the manager and other staff, and any time you trained someone new.

Working abroad

Applying in another country?

Farm workers from overseas often apply for seasonal or long-term jobs, and the steps differ by country. See the country guides for what to put on your CV.
