Worried that your resume does not have enough to show you as a good candidate for a job? Do not worry. Analyze your abilities and put them all down in a new section – SKILLS! You will be surprised to know that one extra section in your resume can take your candidature to new heights. Showing a prospective employer that you are a capable individual has never been easier. Imagine an entire section that just says ‘I am just perfect for the job!”
You cannot go wrong when writing a dedicated skills section. It is an absolute necessity to carefully craft your abilities in sync with the needs of the employer. Yes, that is all that the skills section is about – and it is quite substantial. But if you consider yourself a perfect fit for a job, there must be something that makes you that way. What can it be? Think! Is it because you are a great communicator and that is what the employer is looking for? Or have you read the job description well enough to know that your technical skills are a force to reckon with? Both will do!
