Ok so the boyfriend wants to apply for a job he heard they were advertising for.. Closer to home and possibly more money
Anyways due to my laptop crashing in Dec because of a evil virus I lost everything including his resume. Which would of needed to be updated anyways.
I offered to redo it because well my computer ate it and I have lots of free time these days... I have a couple questions..
1) Whats the rule about putting places that are no longer in business on your resume.. He has a couple Die Cast places that have since closed and no longer in business. Do I still put them on there even though they will be unable to contact them ?
2) This is for all you factory people out there.... Should there be a seperate section like skills and abilities to put specific types of Machines hes able to run?
I told him to write everything down including specific machines and what he did with them and give it to me.
That sounds about right. My resume lists the machines I have experience with (manual and CNC) and my duties with each... as well as other experience such as ISO 9001 quality and software certifications such as AutoCad.
I went back 10 years on my resume regardless of former employer status.

Does he have any supervisors phone numbers at the companies out of business? If so, they can still attest to what he did, work ethic, skill, dates of employment, etc.

If not, you can probably lie and get away with it. Get a friend to pretend to be the supervisor from the bankrupt company.
LOL Rock on... He told me another person he works with was thinking about applying. I told him if that personhe gave me his info I'd do his resume too for a fee
Definitely include skills. Types of machines are very important. Some places are only looking for someone to run one type of machine. Include any vocational studies, classes, college classes etc. Bring along a college transcript if he has any college classes or certifications.
Previous employers are important, but what can be of paramount importance are references. Those are the folks who should be testifying for what he is capable of, what potential he might have, what type of employee he is, etc. If they are trying to fill a skilled trades position, they will probably have him perform some of the typical duties of the job like a weld test, or practice checking CNC parts, etc. Blue print reading is also common.
What type of factory position is he applying for? If it's a general labor position, they probably won't be expecting much in the way of a resume.
Me personally, I simply list all the skills related to the job I am applying for. I have strong references though, so I let them do the talking for me. I also expect a thorough evaluation of my skills through a battery of tests. In depth math tests are extremely common as well for the good jobs, so bring a calculator.
I honestly dont know. He heard a commerical on the radio told me to google said place because he and his co worker wanted to know where it was. I printed off a map for him to take to his coworker tomorrow.Tried to google the name and jobs in our area and didnt find much so As far as what there hiring for no clue. There website career section was pretty vague all it said was to download the app and have a resume and either drop it off, fax it or mail it to them. He has the references his current job loves him and would seriously would be hurting if him and the other guy leave since they work the most OT of all the people on there shift. Doubt he would leave the current job for general labor I think its for specific type of machines but without him giving me the info to do his resume I can only speak in general terms....
yeah he can still list the companies that are out of business as long as he contact numbers for former supervisors. but i don't a contact number is necessary if the business that closed wasn't his most recent job. i'm still mad i have to put of company on my resume that's out of business
