Add willingness to travel and work at night. Industrial floors are often laid in long shifts.

Tailoring your CV to the job offer

An industrial flooring firm looks for power floats and large areas, a resin flooring firm for food plants and car parks, and a finishing firm for screeds in flats. Move to the top what the job ad is about. If you work on floors in operating plants or at night, say so, because many firms look for crews that can lay a floor without stopping the client's work.
