Welder resume with processes, positions and AWS certs done right
A fabrication foreman wants to see in ten seconds whether you can run the process and position the job needs: 6G TIG on stainless, flux-core on structural, or MIG on aluminum. This prompt has your todo.is agent lay out your welding certs, processes and blueprint skills in exactly that way.
The prompt
- Build my welder resume for [JOB POSTING LINK OR COMPANY AND ROLE]. I'm [YOUR NAME] in [CITY, STATE]. Certifications: [AWS D1.1, ASME SECTION IX, 6G, OTHER, WITH DATES]. Processes, positions and metals: [E.G. SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW / 1G-6G / CARBON, STAINLESS, ALUMINUM]. Work history: [EMPLOYERS, DATES, WHAT YOU WELDED OR FABRICATED]. Add a clear welding skills section (process, position, material), show quality and safety results with numbers, mention blueprint reading and fit-up, keep it to one page with no tables, and give me a Word file.
What to change
- [JOB POSTING LINK OR COMPANY AND ROLE]: e.g. "Structural Welder, Gulf Steel Fabricators" or a link to the ad.
- [YOUR NAME]: Full name.
- [CITY, STATE]: Where you live. Add "willing to travel" if you take field or shutdown work.
- [AWS D1.1, ASME SECTION IX, 6G, OTHER, WITH DATES]: e.g. "AWS D1.1 3G/4G FCAW 2024, ASME IX 6G GTAW/SMAW pipe 2023".
- [E.G. SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW / 1G-6G / CARBON, STAINLESS, ALUMINUM]: List what you can really run. Your agent formats it into a clean skills grid in text.
- [EMPLOYERS, DATES, WHAT YOU WELDED OR FABRICATED]: e.g. "Apex Fab 2021-now, structural beams, trailers". Or attach your old resume.

How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and replace the [brackets] with your certs, processes and jobs.
- Paste it into todo.is on the Today screen or message your agent on WhatsApp or Telegram.
- Attach your weld test certificates or old resume if you want exact names and dates used.
- Download the Word file, then ask for changes like "make a version for pipeline jobs".
Tips for a better result
- Write process, position and material together ("GTAW 6G stainless pipe"). That is how foremen read welding skills.
- X-ray or UT pass rates are the strongest proof of quality you can give.
- Mention TWIC, OSHA 10/30 and willingness to travel for plant or shutdown work.
- Keep cert dates current. Many certs need continuity logs, so say they are up to date.
- Ask your agent to find welder openings near you with links each week as a recurring to-do.
