Manufacturing Resume Writing Tips
While the manufacturing sector is experiencing slower-than-average job growth, the US Department of Labor reports that more than 60 percent of jobs are found in manufacturing, and earnings are higher than the national average.

"Accomplishments should be added to the resume to show a track record of top performance," Heyden explains. "Tell me a story about how your career progressed and how you contributed to your previous employers' manufacturing operations."
