I have been working at my current company for about 3 years now and once every 6 months or so, I update my resume to reflect the new responsibilites and accomplishments I have achieved. The issue I have though is with the content of my resume compared to the "perfect resume material" all the websites mention.
It is understood that a resume should list accomplishments and how you have benefitted the company as a whole as opposed to listing tasks and abilities. Being in the work force for only 3 years though, I have not been in a position to help the company grow, I have not lead multi-million dollar projects yet (only projects up to $100,000 or so). I am looking for how someone would word a resume when their main duty is to do what they are told?
Here are the main bullet points for my current position:
-Works directly with local, state, and federal agencies regarding the design and permitting of site development projects.
-Prepares contract documents, RFQs, public bid evaluations and provides construction oversight on projects valued up to $1,000,000.
-Manages and updates project databases to monitor construction schedules and budgets.
-Conducts various surveys with the use of a total station and GPS equipment.
-Uses AutoCAD Civil 3D/LDD, Carlson Civil/Survey, HydroCAD, and ArcGIS in conjunction with collected field data to develop plans for clients.
-Directly handles correspondence with contractors and clients to ensure project coordination and completion.
Any input is greatly appreciated on how to better focus these items to create a more "proactive" resume as opposed to a task oriented one.
Thanks.
