Sample
Construction Resume
When creating a construction
resume it is important to understand the resume should reflect a strong
sense of professional experience in the construction field.
Toward this end, either the functional resume format or a chronological
resume format will work well as the functional resume focuses
on skills and the chronological resume format highlights
experience.
The functional resume format is preferable when the applicant has
changed jobs frequently or is changing career fields. When the
applicant also contains a strong education and possesses a solid
work history, the chronological resume format should be used.
The latter is stressed in the sample construction resume below.

additional information which may be beneficial when applying for a

construction field. The applicant

applicant is fluent in more than one language.
As with all chronological resumes, the construction resume should start
with a strong objective statement. In this sample, the job applicant
specifies that he is interested in a position in a residential
