Does a factory-worker CV need qualifications listed?

State the qualifications you really have, briefly, in one line. Factory recruiters care about shifts and work you can do first; qualifications are not the first deciding factor.

Should I state my expected salary in the CV?

Only if the job ad asks for it; otherwise leave it blank to discuss when called — a figure above the role's range can get the CV rejected before you are called.

CV for general workers and industrial workers: write it so recruiters call you

Factory recruiters look for 3 things in the first 30 seconds: which shifts you can work, what you can do, and whether you can start right away. Put those three facts at the top of the CV, right under your name, then write each job you have done in one line: what the job was + where and in what form + a measurable result. No long list of qualifications is needed — one line of trade skill plus one line of real experience is enough to get the call.

The first 30 seconds must answer the recruiter's 3 questions

Factory recruiters often filter dozens of applications at once. Put these 3 facts at the top of the CV, right under your name: which shifts you can work (day, night, rotating, overtime or not — state it clearly, do not make the recruiter call to find out); what you can do (which machine, which line, which stage such as assembly, packing, inspection or warehouse — name the job specifically, not just “worker”); and whether you can start right away (where you are based, when you can start — one line is enough). Example openings: “Electronics assembly worker — day shifts and rotating shifts, ready to start at once in the industrial zone I am applying to.” Or: “Packing staff — used to high-speed packing lines, available for weekend overtime.”

Write experience as real work, not personality

Recruiters do not call because a CV says “hard-working, honest” — they call because it states concrete work. Write each job in one line, as work + method + result: assembly (“Assembled electronic components on the line, met the shift output quota, no repeated errors in the shift.”); packing/inspection (“Packed and inspected goods before dispatch, caught faulty goods before boxing.”); warehouse (“Picked goods by dispatch slip, delivered the right codes and quantities, no mix-ups in the shift.”). With no company experience, list real work you have done — helping at a shop, delivery, seasonal work, helping the family — one line of work + result each; do not leave the experience section blank and do not invent a company name. Rule: do not list work you never did; two probing questions from the recruiter will expose it.

3 steps to create a general-worker CV in 10 minutes

Step 1, pick the template for the job group you are applying to — the general/industrial worker group from the 5 template groups. Step 2, fill in the 3 facts at the top of the CV (shifts you can work + work you can do + whether you can start right away), then write each job in one line — using the formulas from the previous sections, and dropping any long personality description. Step 3, verify your email, then download the CV — per the candidate-funnel QA (experiment 22/10-C), an account with an unverified email cannot download the CV or receive selection emails. Verification is mandatory, not optional.

3 mistakes that get a general-worker CV skipped at once

Writing vaguely: the whole CV is just “worker, hard-working, diligent” — the recruiter cannot tell which line to place you on. Leaving shifts blank: the recruiter needs someone for a specific shift; a CV with no shift stated ranks behind one that states it. Sending one generic CV for every role: an assembly CV differs from a warehouse CV — the selected work differs by job ad, never send a generic version.
