Skills

Listing skills is not the same as listing your work experience. Your skills should be relevant to the job you’re applying for.

  • Look at the required skills listed in the job description so you’ll have a good idea of what you need to list. List the most effective skills at the top.
  • Focus more on the “hard skills” obtained in specific tasks, certifications, or knowledge that are relevant to the work.
  • Soft skills, like “good with people” or “team player” will be listed in almost every resume.
