A CV might feel unnecessary in the trades world, but employers and contractors still want to see proof of your skills and experience.

Keep It Short and Clear

One page is usually enough. Stick to relevant jobs and avoid clutter.

Highlight Certifications

If you’re Gas Safe, CSCS qualified, or hold an NVQ, put it right at the top.

Show Practical Experience

Instead of listing “5 years in construction,” be specific:

• Installed full heating systems in 30+ homes
• Completed 15 roofing projects to deadline

Add References

A good word from a past contractor can seal the deal.
