Functional format problems:
Hides work history
ATS systems struggle to read it
Recruiters often distrust it
For maintenance roles, employers want to see:
Where you worked
What equipment you handled
What problems you solved
Best for:
Editing and customizing your resume
Submitting through company portals that request Word files
Best for:
Sending to recruiters
Applying via email
Keeping formatting consistent
Rule:
Always edit in Word → export to PDF before submitting (unless the job posting says otherwise).
A template alone won’t get you hired—you need to tailor it.
Focus on:
Years of experience
Type of maintenance work
Key strengths
Weak Example:
Maintenance worker looking for a job.
Good Example:
Maintenance technician with 6+ years of experience in industrial environments, specializing in preventive maintenance and electrical troubleshooting.
Scan the job description and include keywords like:
HVAC
PLC
Preventive maintenance
CMMS
Electrical systems
This helps you pass ATS filters.
Don’t just list duties—show impact.
Weak Example:
Responsible for maintenance tasks.
Good Example:
Performed preventive maintenance that reduced equipment downtime by 20%.
Use:
Short bullet points
Clear section headings
Consistent formatting
Avoid:
Long paragraphs
Fancy graphics
Unusual fonts
Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems. If your resume isn’t optimized, it won’t even be seen.
Use standard headings (Summary, Skills, Experience)
Avoid tables, columns, and graphics
Use simple fonts (Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman)
Keep formatting consistent
Images or icons
Text inside shapes or tables
Unusual file formats
Overly designed templates
Use if:
You have less than 5 years of experience
Entry-level or junior technician
Use if:
5+ years of experience
Multiple roles or certifications
Specialized technical skills
Never exceed 2 pages.
Employers care about outcomes, not just tasks.
If your resume looks like everyone else’s, you blend in.
Missing keywords = failing ATS filters.
Keep it readable. Not every recruiter is technical.
Messy layout = instant rejection.
Mention exact systems:
Conveyor systems
HVAC units
Industrial machinery
Electrical panels
This increases relevance immediately.
Employers prioritize technicians who:
Prevent breakdowns
Reduce downtime
Improve efficiency
Always include:
OSHA knowledge
Safety procedures
Incident prevention
You want speed and structure
You’re unsure about formatting
You need an ATS-friendly layout
You have highly specialized experience
You want a customized layout
For most candidates, templates are the better choice.
Before you export to PDF:
Is your format reverse chronological?
Is it 1–2 pages max?
Are skills tailored to the job?
Do bullet points show results?
Is formatting clean and simple?
Did you remove all placeholders?
If yes, you’re ready to apply.
