Environmental Health & Safety Strategy

Let's take a look at this specific Environmental Health and Safety resume sample and the strategy I used to ensure it made it to the "yes" pile. During the consultation with my client we discussed the qualities the introduction of the resume should highlight. Based on her background and what she brings to the table, we decided time and cost avoidance, quality control, and relationship building were the professional strengths that make her standout from the competition.

In addition, I included a keyword section so that resume scanners will be able to pick up words that were in the job posting Loraine provided. This is important because resumes have to be written for computer and human eyes. In the Professional Experience section of this Environmental Health and Safety resume example, I also included core competencies and fleshed out each with an accomplishment. This adds substance to the resume and allows the reader to quickly scan the resume and pickup professional strengths that interest them the most.

Since Loraine worked for companies that have impressive annual sales, I included that information to give the reader a feel for the type of employer who hired her in the past. A company with strong sales and / or a good reputation also bolsters the candidate’s value in the eye of the interviewer. So if you have experience working for an employer with a solid track record, make sure to highlight that information on the resume because their good standing as a corporate citizen rubs off on your credentials as well.
