Put the corresponding dates of employment on the left side.
Keep only relevant jobs on your work experience.

How to write safety and security officer experience bullet points

Effective job bullet points do more than just describe your job duties. Instead, they should be specific and measurable accomplishments. Here are some strategies to mastering job bullet points:

Use strong action verbs like Led, Built, or Optimized.

Add an education section to your resume

Here is the best way to format your education section:

Display your highest degree first.
If you graduated over 5 years ago, put this section at the bottom of your resume. If you lack relevant work experience, the education section should go to the top.
If you have a bachelor's or master's degree, do not list your high school education.
If your graduation year is more than 15-20 years ago, it's better not to include dates in this section.

Here are some examples of good education entries for resumes:

If you have any of these certifications, be sure to include them on your safety and security officer resume:
