Production Manager Resume Skills List
Production manager’s job requirements vary depending on the nature
of the industry that you wish to get into. Whether you are getting into
industrial, medical or entertainment industry, make sure to tailor fit
your Production Manager skills list according to the employer’s
qualifications.
As you have read in our Production Manager resume example, we
greatly went into detail on how Peter’s various skill sets were applied
to his job. Whenever necessary we substantiated the indicated
responsibilities with numbers and figures.
Take note of the company’s vision as well because you have to align
your goal with theirs. You must be able to match and put together
skills, achievements and goal in two sentences.
To give you a concrete example, review the resume objective stated in
our example of a resume for a Production Manager.
After highlighting the strong points of Peter such as his being APICS
and Lean Six Sigma certified and having eight years experience in the
manufacturing industry, we tied it in with the company’s vision of
revolutionizing the food industry.
The person reading the objective statement will no doubt be

Personal Information
We had the option to place Certifications before Work Experience but
it may be overkill or appear redundant as these items were already
included in the Objective Statement and Skills sections.
For an entry level Production Manager resume, you will have to place
more focus on the objective statement, skill sets, training and
education to get noticed by the recruiter.
The ideal format would be the functional type which would re-arrange
the sections of your resume as follows:
Contact Information
Objective Statement

Personal Information
The objective statement is your “spiel” or sales pitch to the Hiring
Manager. Highlight your certifications and other strong points and
most importantly, tell the company why it should hire you despite
having lack of experience.
The existing objective statement we used is applicable even for entry
level applicants but enhance its effectiveness by adding soft skills to
frame your value proposition.
Keep in mind that when a recruiter reviews your resume, one question
will continue to hand in the back of his mind, “How can applicant help
the company achieve its goals and objectives?”
Lastly the best production managers are able to improve operating
efficiency. Be efficient with your resume content. Do not include
information that is not relevant to the job.
