Why Olivia suits a field service technician resume
Olivia prints a full-width blue header band with white contact details, then summary, skills and experience. Service managers often read on phones between calls, and the strong header makes contact details easy to spot, while the single column keeps text in order.
Second choice: Meridian. Meridian is plainer, with no colour, a better fit for formal application portals.

Frequently asked questions
What should a field service technician resume include?
Equipment types, territory, calls per week, first-time fix rate, customer ratings and certifications.
Should I list my driving record?
If the job requires driving, a short line such as 'clean driving record' helps. Do not include licence numbers.
How do I show customer service skills?
Survey scores, repeat requests and complaints resolved show them better than adjectives.
Can a home appliance technician move into commercial service?
Yes. Highlight gas, refrigeration and electrical diagnostics and any commercial brand training.
How long should the resume be?
One page. Keep older jobs to a line or two and spend the space on your current territory, equipment and results.
Should I include on-call or emergency work?
Yes. After-hours rotations and emergency calls show reliability, which matters to restaurants and hospitals that cannot wait. Say how often you were on call and how fast you usually arrived.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Olivia PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 5 section headings and all 7 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
