Yesterday in Kalgoorlie I saw a driller’s CV that opened with “owns two headlamps,” which gave me a chuckle. Funny is fine, but interviews come from impact: lead with production numbers (tons per shift), safety streaks, and current certs, then prep one tight STAR story — like the time you got a jammed conveyor back in 12 minutes — to nail the first question.
I started putting a one-line header on my resume — “1,380 t/shift avg, 0 LTIs in 24 months, Confined Space & HME tickets current” — and @OP, it bumped my callbacks because they saw the meat in 5 seconds. I still sneak one quirky closer at the bottom (mine’s “freed a jammed stacker in 9 min”) so you’re memorable, but only after the numbers — you do the same?
