Welder resume keywords

- OSHA 10

- Amazon Web Services

How to use them
- Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
- List each license with its class and state: "CDL Class A, Illinois, with Hazmat endorsement"
- Name the machines and controls you ran, not only "operated equipment"
- Include apprenticeship hours and safety record if the posting asks
- Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
