A resume is used for a job application to summarize your work biography, i.e. everything related to the job you’re seeking. It’s a document that gives the information of who you are professionally and how much of a fit you’ll be in an organization.
This article will focus on the best ways to showcase your professional worth.
1. Concise description of your technical abilities
• Create a dedicated section on your resume where you effectively and specifically demonstrate your hard skills, which are skills that professionally define you.
• In this section, customize your skills to match the requirements of the job you’re looking for. For example, if the job you’re looking for is the role of a product manager, you shouldn’t highlight the skills that are suitable for a front desk officer in a hospital.
• Prioritize the relevance of these skills and your competency.
2. Highlighting your experience
This is the section where you provide context on where you applied these skills. Describe projects you have worked on, certifications you have obtained or any technologies you have used. Just make sure that these experiences align with the role you’re seeking.
Display your volunteering, internship, apprenticeship experience
3. Quantifiable achievements
Here, include specific examples that show the impact of your skills. Show workings with particular results. For example- I increased sales by 20% with my creative storytelling skills. This simply shows how impactful your skills are.
By following these tips, you can showcase your hard skills on your resume and increase your chances of impressing potential employers with your technical expertise.
