Besides completing your laser technician courses, to get a job as a laser technician, you need a great resume. The following tips will give you insight on how to create an impressive resume that will hopefully lead to you landing your dream job as a laser tech aesthetician.
Schooling
Your resume needs to include where you attended school. No matter where you completed your laser technician courses, this information needs to be prominently featured on your resume. You will also need to include the dates you attended school and whether you’ve received any further certifications. This portion of your resume should look something like this:
[School name/laser technician courses] – [Certification received] – [Dates attended]Example:

Work experience/practical experience
As part of your laser technician courses, you probably were able to shadow a professional aesthetician and gain practical experience. You may have also been involved in a work placement program or internship while you were in school. You will also need to mention the number of hours you have under your belt. This lets potential employers know that you have finished the required number of hours needed to practise as an aesthetician. This information must be included in your resume.

[Name of salon/clinic] – [Position] – [Dates worked] – [Hours completed]Example:
