What up, niggers, seems this is the most appropriate board for my question.

Applying for a new job, because I'm sick of what I'm doing. The company I'm applying for has some retarded outdated website that doesn't let you upload a resume, and you have to fill in their boxes. The job I'm applying for is construction related, and whilst I have no formal experience, I can fix cars, design/build anything with wood, and pretty handy with a soldering iron.

The box is labelled "Summary of Skills and Talents", and I've put the standard "Ability to share knowledge and skills to others, creative and innovative, fast learning pace and ability to adapt to new systems" amongst some other bollocks.

I'm not really sure how to word "I'm a weekend spanner warrior", without sounding like a tool. The only point I can think of is "mechnically inclined", which I'm not sure really sounds professional. What do?

TL;DR
If you were applying for a construction job, what bullet point(s) would you add under "Summary of Skills and Talents"?

I didn't realise "spanner warrior" wasn't a common thing. Kind of just means you're handy with a spanner, good at building etc.

Just applying as a labourer in a warehouse. Not sure doing exactly what, cutting wood, dealing with customers, assembling. My only job experience is 100% retail, so I don't have any references in the industry.

Maybe jazz it up a bit, like "Impressive spanner using ability".

put this instead and show some of your work if they ask
