Describe diagnosis as a process
A scan tool can provide information, but listing a code reader is not the same as showing diagnostic judgement. Explain how you used readings, visual checks and service information to investigate a reported problem. The sample routes repair recommendations through the workshop lead. Adapt that wording to your actual authority. Avoid saying you fixed a fault simply because a warning cleared, and do not use a resume to give repair instructions that depend on a particular vehicle or workshop procedure.
Make repair quality visible without guarantees
Useful evidence includes complete job cards, clear findings, accurate parts references and documented post-repair checks. The sample measures documentation completeness in a fixed monthly sample. That is a defensible improvement, not a claim that every repair was perfect. If you use comeback rates or repeat-repair figures, define the period and what was counted. A shared workshop result should not be presented as your individual achievement unless the records support that interpretation.
Be precise about training and authorisation
List completed technical qualifications and manufacturer training by their actual names. Distinguish supervised experience from authorisation to work independently on a specialist system. Do not add air-conditioning, high-voltage or other credentials because a job advert asks for them if you do not hold them. Where your experience is limited, describe the tasks you assisted with and the training you are seeking. Accurate boundaries help an employer understand the supervision or development you may need.
