If you only answer ads for welders under w, you might be missing out on job opportunities. Often, the position could be listed with the title structural welder, pipe welder, or assistant welder.
The more experience you have with different kinds of work (bridges, frames for sliding roofs, buildings, security bars), the more jobs you’ll be qualified for. The more education you have in engineering and metallurgy, the more you’ll be able to contribute to the design of the projects on which you work.

Re: Welder Position
Dear Mr. Steele,
I saw your ad for a welder in the Builder’s Brief this week and am attaching my resume for your consideration.
As it states, I have a BS in Welding Engineering and have been working on a variety of welding projects for the past 16 years.
My key responsibilities at my work include:
- Examining blueprints, designs, and specs to determine appropriate designs
- Estimating the quantity of raw materials needed for a project
- Creating new templates and designs to ensure longevity of work
- Building metal frames, repairing metal parts, and recycling scrap metal for projects
- Using x rays and leak testing to determine strength and wholeness of existing work
I am available to meet you at your office or construction site for an in-person interview at which we can discuss the position further. You can reach me at 666-444-2222 or at [your email address].
Thanking you in advance.
Sincerely,
Rosie Riveter
