When hiring managers are looking for an HVAC Mechanic or Technician, the following three elements are vital for them to get a quick impression of you and your experiences.
Indicate whether you have worked with residential clients, commercial clients, or both. This information should appear in both the summary at the top of your resume and within each position description in your professional experience section.
Specify any area of specialty that you have, which could include heating, ventilation, gas furnaces, RVR systems, or cooling systems. Your area of specialization could also be a specific brand of the HVAC system. Specialization information should be in your summary, as well as within each job description.
Include the type of administrative work you are familiar with doing. Administrative work could include tasks like invoicing, billing, inventory, and scheduling. In many small businesses, the technicians need to both do technical and administrative work. Employers want to see if you are familiar with both.
No matter how long you have been in the HVAC industry, try incorporating these duties and responsibilities under your professional experience section.
Employers love seeing numbers on your resume. Numbers make your experience feel tangible. When writing your resume, you want to be able to answer the questions, “How much?” or “How many?”. You include that number (the answer) in your job descriptions. For instance:
As an HVAC Technician, soft skills are just as important as technical skills. To show employers that you have the soft skills they are looking for, try to incorporate these into your profile, key skills, and cover letter sections:

| Fabricating | Inspecting | Identifying |
| Installing | Repairing | Maintaining |
