Technical professionals should focus on their top skills and key experiences when applying for jobs. This works well for local and international opportunities.

Here's a clear example for trades:

"My main skills are in hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical systems. I've worked with industrial machines for years, making production lines run better and setting up maintenance plans to prevent breakdowns.

I can also program PLCs and have created automation systems for factories. I'm good at working with different types of industrial equipment and solving tough mechanical problems."

A problem that you solved

In a technical job interview, give a clear example of a problem you solved. Show how you use your skills to fix real issues, no matter your specific trade.

Use this simple format:

Place + Problem + Fix + Outcome

Here's a straightforward example:

"At a big factory in South Africa, a key production line kept breaking down. I checked the records and saw we weren't maintaining it properly. I made a better maintenance plan, including new tests. This cut unexpected stops by 40% and made the line 15% more effective, saving the company money."

This way of answering works well for job applications anywhere, whether you're looking locally or in other countries.
