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.
