Frequently Asked Questions
Should I mention specific CNC machines?
Absolutely. Machine brands and types matter. "Experienced on Haas VF-2 and Mazak turning centers" tells employers exactly what training you need (or don't need). Include both mills and lathes if you're proficient in both.
How important is G-code programming?
Increasingly important. "Proficient in G-code programming and editing with experience in Mastercam CAM software" shows you can do more than just run programs. Programming ability commands higher pay and opens more opportunities.
What quality metrics should I include?
First-pass yield and scrap rates matter. "Maintain 99.2% first-pass yield with scrap rate under 0.5%" demonstrates the precision that aerospace and medical manufacturing require. Quality metrics prove capability better than claims.
Should I mention specific tolerances?
Yes. Tolerance capability defines your skill level. "Experienced holding ±0.0005" tolerances on precision components" shows you can handle tight-tolerance work. This is especially important for aerospace or medical device manufacturing.
