all quick-read items that can bring the talents and accomplishments of an individual to the surface," he says.
Show Off Your Skills
Cox says a shortage of skilled workers is a common complaint by manufacturers, so include job-related skills on your resume. You can weave them into your qualifications summary or your Monster resume's Skills section.
Another benefit of including skills is that many are industry keywords employers use to find suitable applicants. "Most candidates don't realize that recruiters and hiring authorities use specific keyword-searching techniques to target qualified resumes for a particular job opening," Wilgus says. "Manufacturing candidates of all levels should make sure they have specific industry-related terms embedded somewhere in the resume."
Heyden adds that each manufacturing niche has its own set of buzzwords, so it's a good idea to find out which terms hiring managers are searching on and then incorporate the keywords that match your skill set into your resume.
According to Wilgus, manufacturing keyword examples include: lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, continuous improvement, kaizen, manufacturing, engineering, process, quality and operations.
Get Qualified
The US Department of Labor predicts a skilled-labor shortage of 8 million workers by 2010, and NAM fears the manufacturing industry will suffer due to lack of interest in manufacturing careers. Cox says NAM's Manufacturing Skill Standards Council has just rolled out a production technician certification program -- a first-of-its-kind standard that will help employers identify skilled workers. 
Whether you explore this certification or expand your qualifications through specific trade certifications (e.g., Certified Pipe Welder, Certified Quality Engineer), on-the-job training, internships, apprenticeships, membership in professional organizations or practical work experience, it's your job to keep your skills -- and your resume -- refreshed.
