WRITING THE SKILLS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS SECTION |
|
|
In the Summary section of your resume, you can brag a little. In the Skills and Accomplishments section you can brag a little more.
This section will cap off all that qualifies you for your intended position. You will show your prospective employer that there can be no other and the journey stops with YOU!
How do you do this best? You continue to show that you are the right one for the job by going into better detail about all that you wrote of in your Summary section. This requires careful wording so as not to be repetitious. If you can pull this off professionally, using words that glow, you will have the attention you are looking for!
The most key point about writing this section is you are not going to inform. You are going to highlight in more detail, what your prospective employer already believes to be true about you as an ideal candidate.
The Purpose of your Skills and Accomplishments Section
Go into good detail about the following:
- Any benchmarks or landmarks accomplished as the result of your unique skill-set.
- Using facts, figures and statistics, show how your best efforts showed the best results.
- Your specific talents and unique gifts as related to your job.
- All accomplishments that sets you apart.
To be most effective, you will use clear, crisp writing that sums up. You are going into detail here, but not so much that this section reads like a story.
Key Point -- Write so that you give hints and not complete details. You want your prospective employer to call you in for the interview to learn more! This is critical.
