Skills and keywords

These are the terms most consistently used to screen mechanic applications. Spell tools and certifications the way postings spell them — a screen matches the words, not the meaning.

Example bullets

Each one has blanks in brackets. Fill them with your own figures, or rewrite the line — never keep a number you cannot explain.

  • Diagnosed and repaired N vehicles a week with a N% comeback-free rate.
  • Completed N preventive maintenance jobs a month on fleet.

Verbs that signal ownership

Open bullets with these rather than with “responsible for” or “worked on”:
