Tips for Writing a Better Assembler Resume

1. Create a profile by summarizing your assembler qualifications

To develop a great assembler resume, you’ll need to zoom out and take the full measure of your relevant background. Follow these three steps:

Step 1: For each job in your work history, brainstorm, and jot down the various things you can remember that you’re proud of. Don’t worry whether the details you’re jotting down are relevant or well-organized.

Step 2: With everything written down in front of you, go through and filter out any details that don’t speak to your target job. Review each detail one by one, always answering the same question: Does this align or overlap with the duties you’ll have as an assembler? When in doubt, delete.

Step 3: Organize and format your remaining details as the basis for your resume.

The order of these steps is important. Don’t start filtering out details until you’ve brainstormed plenty about your positive work experiences. And don’t start organizing details until you’re done filtering them for relevance. Otherwise, you’ll probably waste time polishing up details that you just delete later on. For a more detailed overview of this procedure, see the “How to write a successful resume” section of our Resume vs. Curriculum Vitae (CV) article.

2. Showcase your experience as an assembler

You may have been told to “be concise” on your resume and in writing. As the famous writing guide “The Elements of Style” puts it, “Omit needless words. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words for the same reason that… a machine should have no unnecessary parts.”

Here’s an excellent way to apply this advice on your resume: Avoid repeating information or giving details you can assume the reader knows. Case in point: Your past job titles and company names often will “do the work” of telling your basic duties, so you don’t have to. Say your title was “Assembler (night shift), Sedona Medical Manufacturing.” Don’t start the corresponding job description with “Worked as one of the dedicated night shift assemblers at this medical manufacturer.” Instead, go right into more specific job highlights. You’ll keep the hiring manager’s attention by leaving out details they already registered in the previous line.

3. Outline your education and assembler-related certifications

When your job description includes points with specific results or performance figures, consider setting them off from your other information. You can format the points differently or use a subheading such as “Highlights” or “Key Achievements.” This structure helps draw the hiring manager’s eye to how you’ve made a tangible, positive impact on your employers.

Key Skills Hiring Managers Look for on Assembler Resumes

For a better assembler resume, include a “Key Skills” section. This section gives hiring managers a quick overview of the expertise and value you offer. It also helps your resume perform better in ATS scans. Consider including any of the terms below:

Common Action Verbs for Assembler Resumes

It’s easy to get stuck when writing the Experience section of your resume. You may find yourself running out of action verbs to describe your work. To help you over the hump, we put together this list of strong resume verbs for an assembler:

How to Align Your Assembler Resume With a Job Posting

For each job in your Experience section, consider adding a company description. You can place this description in brackets right next to or below the company name.

Company descriptions let you show any similarities between your past and desired employers. For instance, maybe you’ve worked for companies of a similar size or in the same industry. By working these details into your descriptions, you can make your resume more relevant to the job at hand, and likely to produce an interview.
