What to write in the skills part of a resume
Writing Your Resume Skills Section: Do's and Don'ts
the skills section of your resume can
make a huge difference during the job
search no matter what kind of experience
you have we'll guide you through the
do's and don'ts of an effective skill
section first don't include obsolete or
irrelevant skills
obsolete skills make your resume look
out-of-date and while you may have
valuable experience from other parts of
your career you should only include
skills related to the job you're
pursuing next list your most relevant
skills first make each entry brief and
specific but feel free to include as
many relevant entries as you need when
it comes to character traits don't list
them as skills although qualities like
hard-working and dedicated are positive
simply listing them won't win over
hiring managers instead show these
traits through the tasks and
achievements of your work experience
organize your skills to keep things
readable group related entries together
such as your computer skills language
skills and so on you can simply list
them or if you have several skills of
the same type you can organize them into
categories don't include anything
personal religious or political personal
skills are typically unnecessary and
unrelated to your job search in the u.s.
religious are politically related skills
are generally not included but this can
vary from country to country take the
time to optimize the skills section and
it will hopefully be a highlight of your
resume
