Create My Carpenter CV

Furniture workshops, fit-out companies and building sites look for quality workmanship, accurate measuring and machine skills. Your CV should show the type of work you do and the machinery you use.

State the products and work types

Kitchens, doors and windows, bespoke furniture, panelling or site carpentry are different jobs. List what you can do independently.

Add machine experience

Panel saws, planers, CNC panel cutting, edge banders and hand tools - list the machines you use.

Prepare photos of your work

A small portfolio of finished work convinces an employer very quickly. Add your qualifications too.
