Devyn followed the advice from the career counselors on his resume. He placed the education section on the top portion of his resume, and made it one page per their guidance. Unfortunately, that guidance is a bit outdated.

We created a differentiated marketing message on the top of the resume that could easily be consumed by the recruiter, while also conveying experience with the term "equivalent years of experience". We created proof of his enviromental science knowledge by citing metrics on testing he had done. We also changed the skill section to match the ATS requirements. We also extended the resume to two pages, as he had enough equivalent experience. As a result, he received three job offers within a month, one from the private sector and two from the federal government. He chose wisely with the private sector and enjoying a high paying job.
