If a company only uses a specific brand of equipment, they will often put that experience with that brand is preferred in the job description. If you have experience operating a Komatsu, describe how many years of experience you have. If you are not familiar with Komatsu, explain how you pick up operating new equipment very quickly and how you are willing and eager to learn.

You want to avoid saying you have no desire to familiarize yourself with a Komatsu and only operate other brands of equipment. If you act as if you are unwilling to learn new things, you will not be a strong candidate and may be passed over for another candidate who is more flexible and open to learning.

"I am very familiar with operating Komatsu excavators. My first piece of equipment was a Komatsu, and that is what the company mainly used where I did my apprenticeship. I have six years of experience operating all types of excavators, and I would have to say Komatsu is my favorite."
