Ptoduction Professional skills 
The term manufacturing encompasses a broad range of industries, 
and this means people working in manufacturing are able to gain 
many different valuable skills. 
That being said, there are some production-related skills that the 
vast majority of manufacturers want to see on a resume. According to 
an analysis by ZipRecruiter, the most important production skills to 
list on a resume include assembly line skills, attention to detail, 
communication, material handling skills, the ability to multitask and 
pallet jack operation. 
Consider the following skills you should be showcasing to 
manufacturing job recruiters. 
Just about every modern manufacturing operation is based 
around a production line, and people seeking manufacturing jobs 
should be able to perform basic production tasks. 
Assembly line work involves standing in front of a production 
line and paying attention to a specific piece of production equipment. 
As conveyor system passes materials from one piece of production 
equipment to another, production workers should be able to monitor 
both the conveyor system in front of them and their assigned pieces of 
equipment, ensuring that an assembly line keeps moving. They should 
also be able to spot defective products or processes and respond 
accordingly. 
While most jobs require people to pay attention to small details, 
production workers face a unique challenge in that the job duties can 
become highly repetitive. The challenge is to remain focused, and 
detail oriented over the course of an entire shift. This is more difficult 
than it sounds. 
Attention to detail is also vital with regard to safety. Production 
environments are typically filled with large machinery, and a lapse of 
attention could lead to serious injury, even death.

Production work requires people to work together and react as a 
team to changing circumstances. Without good communication, 
manufacturing operations can be less efficient, reaching a middling 
level of productivity or worse. With good communication, 
manufacturing operations are more likely to be efficient and operating 
ahead of or on schedule. 
Good communication can be challenging in production environments, 
as these tend to be loud, hot work environments. This makes 
communication in manufacturing a unique skill that improves with 
experience. 
The handling of materials happens all throughout a typical 
manufacturing facility. On the production line, workers are usually 
expected to handle both raw materials and finished products. In 
warehouse and shipping areas, workers are expected to offload 
incoming shipments and load outgoing materials. 
Materials handling also encompasses a number of other skills, 
including attention to detail, organizational abilities and critical 
thinking. 
In order to get the most out of their labor investment, most 
manufacturing employers want workers handling multiple tasks at the 
same time. On the production line, this could mean ensuring that 
material inputs or properly entering production equipment, and that 
equipment is producing quality outputs. 
While production employees aren't expected to juggle an 
overwhelming number of tasks simultaneously, being able to handle 
two or three things at once is typically expected. 
Used to move around large pallets of having materials, a pallet Jack 
can be a manual or semi-automated piece of equipment. their 
operation is not complicated but employers tend to prefer candidates 
who say they are familiar with this piece of equipment.
At Parallel Employment Group, we help people find rewarding 
production positions on a daily basis. If you are looking at 
manufacturing staffing agencies to find one with your best interest in 
mind, please contact us today.

Professional skills are abilities that can help you succeed in your job. A 
professional skill describes a habit, personality trait or ability that positively 
affects your performance in the workplace. Having such skills can benefit 
people in nearly all job positions, industries and work environments. 
Professional skills are also called soft skills, meaning skills easily transferred 
from one job to another. Soft skills describe how we relate to our 
environment and the people around us. By contrast, hard skills refer to more 
technical or specialized knowledge related to a specific job or industry.
