How to Write an Auto Mechanic Resume

If you are looking at a career as an auto mechanic, you will need a professional resume to set yourself apart from others competing for the job. A good looking resume can help you land a job in the career you hope to work in.

Step 1: View a sample resume before you begin. Go to an employment website such as Monster. You will find a PDF sample of a mechanic's resume there. Use the format of this resume to help you create you own.

Step 2: Use Microsoft Word or any other word processing program to help you craft your resume. Some versions of Word have resume templates to aid you in the process.

Step 3: Type your name, address, phone number and email address at the top of the page. This will help the auto shop contact you easily if they are interested in hiring you.

Step 4: Write your skills in a section below your personal information. Be sure to include information about trade groups you belong to or special classes you have taken.

Step 5: Create a section that includes all of your previous employers and your highest position at those employers. Make sure that you include the name of a supervisor and a phone number for each employer so that they can be contacted for a reference.

Step 6: List any type of educational experience that you have. If you have been to mechanic's school or vocational school, make sure that you give the name of the school and the years you attended.

Step 7: Print your resume on clean, white paper. Make several copies that you can leave at auto shops in your town.
