Job seekers from the civil field often write general statements that lack the use of numbers to describe important items like the size and value of projects or number of staff supervised. They also assume that anyone in the civil industry will know what they have done and the depth of their skills just by reading their job title. However, both are erroneous assumptions and can result in poor resume response.
For Example consider the following description of a chunk of experience acquired.
Crew Lead
- Supervised general labor, carpentry and drywall workers.
- Worked with General Contractor to estimate projects and develop proposals.
- Managed daily project completion and trades coordination.
And here is the more appropriate and efficient way to put your experience.
Site Management
- Managed completion of residential and commercial builder projects valued in excess of $20 million annually.
- Supervised crews of up to 25 master carpenters, journeymen drywall hangers, foundation and general laborer personnel.
- Estimated project costs, performed take-offs and developed project proposals working directly with the General Contractor.
