The skills section for the medical records coordinator resume is easy to write because there is no research involved – unless you count self-analysis as research!
All you have to do is delve deep into your own personality and discover how well you fit into the position that you have applied for.
This becomes especially easy if you know your job well and have been doing it for some years.
But there is a catch.
You cannot simply say that you are skilled in a certain area without validating the fact.
Anyone can claim to climb Everest but only a handful of people have actually done it – and have proof to present.
Similarly, you have to provide proof of your skills. And this proof will not be something that you do physically – it will be on paper.
How does that work?
Now that is a question that is worth a million!
To be truthful, it works only because there is no other way.
You do not have the benefit of “showing” an employer what you can do at this stage.
But you can “tell” him or her what you are capable of – and back it up with further “telling”.
