[quote=Anonymous]In your example OP, you listed what anyone doing that job would have had to do.

You need to explain what YOU did "extra special" to make yourself stand out. People reading your resume know you had to make sure the roof was sound, etc.

Here are some examples (I'm imagining as I don't know your field so bear with me):

Project deadlines met 100% of the time, including roof work
with double permit checks 
Saved client 10% in energy bill yearly, as calculated by EPC standards by devising innovative way to incorporate *insert fancy solar panel name" on original materials 
Passed all city, state and national standard checks, including emissions and materials, on first inspection 
Lobbied for collaboration with Xyc company and was successful in establishing contacts that allowed abc

Stop laughing at my examples, I know nothing about your industry :)
Now, do you see how it's vastly different?
You can put a sentence or two about the general idea of what the project was, but the rest of it needs to be focused on how you specifically knocked it out of the park and someone else with your job title may not have[/quote]
