1 Identify your value proposition

The first step to market your sustainable FM skills is to identify your value proposition, or what makes you stand out from other candidates. Think about how your skills align with the goals and needs of the organization you are applying to, and how you can demonstrate your achievements and impact in terms of environmental, social, and economic benefits. For example, you can highlight how you reduced energy consumption, improved waste management, enhanced occupant well-being, or increased operational efficiency in your previous or current roles.

2 Craft your resume and cover letter

The next step is to craft your resume and cover letter to showcase your sustainable FM skills in a clear and concise way. Use keywords and phrases that match the job description and the organization's values and mission. Highlight your relevant qualifications, certifications, and memberships in professional associations related to sustainability. Quantify your results and outcomes with numbers, percentages, or metrics whenever possible. For example, you can say that you implemented a green cleaning program that reduced chemical use by 50% and improved indoor air quality by 20%.

3 Prepare for interviews

The third step is to prepare for interviews by researching the organization and its sustainability initiatives, policies, and challenges. Anticipate the questions that the interviewer might ask you about your sustainable FM skills and experience, and prepare your answers with specific examples and stories. Use the STAR method (situation, task, action, result) to structure your responses and show how you applied your skills to solve problems, overcome obstacles, or achieve goals. For example, you can describe a situation where you had to persuade a client or a stakeholder to adopt a more sustainable solution, what actions you took, and what results you achieved.

4 Showcase your portfolio

The final step is to showcase your portfolio of sustainable FM projects, programs, or initiatives that you have been involved in or led. A portfolio can be a collection of documents, reports, presentations, photos, videos, or testimonials that demonstrate your skills, knowledge, and impact in various aspects of sustainability. You can create a digital portfolio using online platforms or tools, or a physical portfolio that you can bring to the interview. Make sure your portfolio is well-organized, relevant, and updated. For example, you can include a case study of a green retrofit project that you managed, showing the objectives, challenges, solutions, and outcomes.
