Writing an HVAC Engineer resume “with a future” is particularly hard if you do not know what hiring managers are looking for. When a hiring manager looks through your resume, he wants to see just three things:
1. Ease of resume design so that it can be read it properly
2. Parity between the company’s requirements and the candidate’s qualifications
3. Length – which should not go past a couple of pages
If you look closely, you will see that point 2 is the only one that pertains to the actual resume content. But this encompasses the resume as a whole. If you are qualified for a position, it will show in every section of your resume. And that is what a hiring manager wants to see.
Let us look at an example for a resume for an HVAC engineer to see how this can be done:
