A satellite installer resume that only says "installed dishes" gets filtered out. The employers hiring for this role care about one thing: can you mount and align dishes, dial in signal, troubleshoot, and take care of customers safely. The resumes that land interviews talk about installs, alignment, and customer service — not just "installed dishes."
In one line: your resume should answer "what did you install and align, how did you optimize signal, and how did customers rate you."
