Sample
Firefighters Resume
When applying for a firefighter position it is important to focus on
experience, education,
training and certification.
A chronological resume format works well for this purpose.
This type of resume format is used in the sample fireman's resume
below. As you can see the applicant elected not to utilize an objective
statement.
While many resumes do allow for an objective statement this is only
necessary in a
firefighters resume if you are
applying for a specialized or senior position.
