An electrician CV is filtered on the skill-test level first — CTEVT's National Skill Testing Board levels are what contractors and manpower agencies ask for — so the example above puts it in the title line. Then it describes work by building type and load: a 12-flat apartment, a 60 kVA generator changeover. That tells a contractor what you can be sent to. The format works for an electrician job in Nepal, India or the Gulf, and for an electrician helper or apprentice.
