If you’re chasing the metallurgical roles, I got same-day callbacks by putting “Rockwell C, microhardness, and Nital etch” right at the top and noting prep down to 0.05 µm — polish like you’re trying to see your future. Small caveat: the “remote” ones often still want on-site training or periodic lab days — anyone else seeing that?

@zhen_li87 +1 on surfacing the keywords; what moved the needle for me was naming specific standards and gear — ‘ASTM E18/E384/E407, E112, E45; Wilson/Rockwell frames, Leco microhardness’ — and noting throughput like 25–30 mounts per shift with auto-polish (think grocery list for hiring managers). Small caveat: a few construction-material labs cared more about chain-of-custody and concrete/aggregate specs than metallurgy buzzwords, so I added a line on LIMS and sample labeling to cover both.

I got more traction by leading with mechanical test chops — “ASTM E8/E23; Instron/Bluehill; ISO/IEC 17025 traceability” — plus a metric like 35 tensile/shift with clip-on extensometers; @mikeC1975’s note on specifics is spot on, just don’t list gear you haven’t run. Think of the resume like a mill cert: clear, traceable, and short.
