Add your licences and the machines you know best. Say that you can do on-call duty, because breakdowns also happen at night.

Tailoring your CV to the job offer

A food plant looks for hygiene and fast changeovers, automotive production for availability metrics and standards, and a chemical plant for work with process safety. Move to the top what the job ad is about.
