Good Morning LinkedIn!☀️ Having reviewed countless CVs for Temporary Trades Jobs, I've noticed that applying for trades roles is quite different from white-collar positions, and it's important to tailor your approach. In the fast-paced world of temp work, especially in trades, your CV needs to be sharp, to the point, and ready to go. Here are some tips based on what I’ve seen that can really help you stand out: 🔵𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 & 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱🔵 Unlike white-collar roles where detailed CVs might be expected, temp trades positions need quick, clear information. Stick to the essentials—highlight your core skills, experience, and qualifications that are directly relevant to the job you're applying for. 🔵𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗨𝗽𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁🔵 Make sure qualifications like CSCS, NVQ, and site-specific training are right at the top. These are often the first things hiring managers look for in temporary trades roles. In white-collar roles, qualifications might come second to experience, but here they’re crucial for landing the job. 🔵𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲🔵 Employers want to see that you're ready to hit the ground running. List your most recent and relevant jobs, focusing on projects that show your hands-on experience and ability to adapt quickly on-site. Unlike office-based roles, where experience is often more long-term, temporary trades work is all about what you can deliver now. 🔵𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆🔵 In temp work, timing and flexibility are key. Make sure your CV clearly states your availability and willingness to work flexible hours. In white-collar roles, scheduling may be more rigid, but in trades, your ability to start immediately can make or break a job offer. 🔵𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼🔵 Having references from recent employers ready can fast-track the hiring process. In temp trades, trust and reliability are vital, and solid references help employers feel confident in their choice. In contrast, white-collar positions might rely more on formal interviews before checking references. I hope these tips help! From my experience, small adjustments like these can make a big difference when applying for fast-paced temp roles in the trades sector. #CVTips #TempJobs #Tradesmen #JobAdvice #ConstructionCareers #FastHiring #BlueCollarSuccess Russell Taylor Group
