Hi Bir,
I like your enthusiasm and I’ve probably read a thousand cv’s, mostly not plumbing related but during a past career.
My opinion maybe different to others but when hiring, I’m not looking for a phenomenal cover letter/cv.
I’m looking for one that is easy to read and clearly lays out your skills (plumbing or not). I’m not gonna spend ages reading fluff.
Make sure the spelling is correct and it’s easy on the eyes. If you’ve got relevant skills, you’ll get a call from me.
After a minute or two on the phone, I’ve typically made up my mind if you’re getting an interview.
Hiring is a headache, I don’t wanna play mind games with applicants. My advert/requirements are very simple. Your cv/application should be too.
Remember, you’re not applying at a law firm, to an oxford graduated contact.
I want and apprentice/plumber that can plumb, not write flashy letters 😜
