True or False: A plumber doesn't need a resume to secure a job. You might find it surprising coming from a recruiter, but the answer is true. Many plumbers rely on their strong reputation and professional network to find work, often landing jobs through personal connections rather than a resume.
Without a resume, you’re significantly restricting your job search options. Most mid-sized to large companies handle hiring through their HR departments, and HR typically won’t consider candidates who don’t have a resume. While you might have a chance at smaller, owner-operated shops or places where the Service Manager handles hiring, larger companies will require a resume to move forward.
Even if you prefer not to work for a large corporation, having a resume remains crucial. A resume serves as an essential tool for advancing in your career and planning your exit strategy from your current position. Working for a larger company often provides diverse opportunities in areas like parts, sales, management, and training.
Think of your resume as your passport. Just as you need a passport to travel internationally, a resume opens up more career possibilities beyond your current job. Without it, you’re limited to local opportunities.
If you’re convinced of the importance of a resume and unsure where to start, check out our resume tips. Once you’ve crafted your resume, keep it updated to avoid last-minute rushes. 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 time-consuming and stressful.
Every time you change jobs or complete additional training, take a few minutes to update your resume. Regular updates make the process easier and ensure your resume reflects your most recent accomplishments and skills. Employers, particularly those at larger companies, value comprehensive resumes with up-to-date training.
