True or False: A millwright doesn’t need a resume to get a job. You might be surprised to hear this from a recruiter, but it’s true. Many millwrights find work through their strong reputation and professional networks, often securing jobs via personal connections rather than a resume.
However, not having a resume can significantly limit your job search. Most mid-sized to large companies handle hiring through HR departments, which typically require a resume for consideration. While smaller, owner-operated businesses or places where the Service Manager is in charge might be more flexible, larger companies will generally insist on a resume.
Even if you prefer not to work for a large corporation, having a resume is still important. It’s a key tool for career advancement and planning your career moves. Larger companies often offer diverse opportunities in areas like parts, sales, management, and training.
Think of your resume as your career passport. Just as a passport is necessary for international travel, a resume unlocks more career possibilities beyond your current position. Without one, your options are limited to local opportunities.
If you recognize the importance of a resume but don’t know where to begin, check out our resume tips. Once you’ve created your resume, keep it updated to avoid last-minute scrambles. Waiting until you need a resume is like deciding to travel on Friday and trying to renew your passport at the last minute—it can be stressful and time-consuming.
Update your resume every time you change jobs or complete additional training. Regular updates make the process smoother and ensure your resume reflects your latest achievements and skills. Employers, especially at larger companies, value comprehensive resumes with current training.
