After technical school, describe your placements, licences and the work you know. Many firms take on graduates to help with installations and testing.

Get your SEP licences as soon as you can. Without them it is hard to work on your own.

Tailoring your CV to the job offer

A testing firm looks for tests and reports, an installation firm for fitting and handovers, and a property manager for inspections and minor repairs. Move to the top what the job ad is about. If you also test solar or lightning protection systems, add this, because it is a common requirement.
