Sample Plumbers
Resume
The type of resume format that should be used when writing a plumber
resume may well depend on the type of position for which you are
applying.
Candidates with little experience and those who are just completing an
apprenticeship
program may wish to use a functional resume format, which
focuses on skills.
The plumbers resume example below is written using a chronological
resume format due to the extensive experience of the applicant.
A combination resume format would also be appropriate in either
situation.
