Yes, this is a hypothetical question. Just wanted to see some humorous responses!
I love the idea of "streamlining the workforce"!!

I hope this is just a hypothetical question (and not a real event) .... but you could try ...
"experience making 'life and death' decisions"
or "identified Darwin Award candidate"
or "applied Darwinian Theory to workforce management"
or "helped coworker attain higher level of self-awareness"

There's so much not told about the facts that it makes it difficult to answery fairly to you. It sounds like an accident but yet your decision caused someone's death and more than likely a felony, which you must answer honestly on the job app. Most companies today do background checks and they will find out. All of us are vulnerable to having accidents, due to not being in good emotional or physical health at the time. We cannot judge someone who does this because it could happen to us the next time. As to how to spin this into a positive, I think the word positive needs to be changed to "tell the truth," and hope someone gives you a chance. This is something you must be open and honest about because it will obviously be in your employment records, and it's hard to lie about not having killed someone, even though it was an accident. I think if you can get the interview, and you impress the interviewer, you should bring it up and frankly discuss it. If the interviewer shuts down and asks you to leave, you didn't want to work there. You will find somebody willing to give you a chance but honesty must be first and foremost so it doesn't look like you are trying to hide it. That's almost worse than having a felony. Best of luck to you.

It is a common matter that happens any where! Simply you can take up any government agency as an example - collect the data and compare it with your case! Of course you will be an innocent baby!
If you want a job immediately - go to Jordan - join hands with Hassbol organisation - They anxiously look out for people like you having proven past experience!

Whoa! Well, you certainly can say that as a result of the unsafe act you committed and have now become aware of how important it is to follow OSHA guidelines . Add in that moving forward, you will ensure that you will identify all safety hazards before performing your job and encourage your new place of work to do a job hazard analysis for all jobs and that you want to sit on the safety committee to make certain that no one makes the same mistake you made.

The reason you left is not included on your resume. You need to "spin it" in the interview, but not on the resume or in the cover letter.

You were in charge of streamlining the workforce

perhaps being functional about your self or what you do and being pleased with your self for having the flexibility to achieve stuff inspite of dealing with hardships. even if it somewhat is one high quality I favor now to not own or favor others to own.

Was a key figure in helping to determine company safety requirements. :-)

On your resume just say, "Helped former employer trim some dead weight"

Tell them that you are a team player. That you have helped others to ascend.
