Overview
How will a hiring manager tell what skills a lead teller has? Through the skills section on a Lead Teller resume. A section often ignored by applicants, this is probably the most important one of a resume.
As a matter of fact, if skills are not mentioned, there is a great chance that the entire resume will be rejected. That is how serious this is!
However, Lead Teller skills are notoriously difficult to write. Many of us are unaware that we have an entire treasure of skills hidden inside us. And most of us deem them not too important because by writing them, they cannot be “shown”.
Actually, Lead Teller skills can be shown if they are written in a believable manner.
Remember that each skills statement that you write must correlate with the accomplishments and experience statements that you have written. Using skills information, the hiring manager can gauge what you are capable of, and all that you have achieved in the past.
Equally important is how you word or phrase skills information.
When you venture out to write them, do a little bit of research first. Ask yourself what the hiring manager needs in terms of competencies and abilities. And make an attempt to answer these questions in the form of skills statements.
