As such, your resume needs to be direct.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Craft a compelling title and two to three sentences that succinctly describe yourself, your results, and how you would add value to the company through your past experiences.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of this section as your resume\u2019s executive summary or highlight reel of your professional experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the following example:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><i>SALES DIRECTOR<\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Results-driven leader with a demonstrated track record of increasing revenue, building high-performance sales teams, and engaging clients through consulting strategic planning.

Resume objectives tell employers what you\u2019re looking for in a job instead of what you can offer them. We recommend sticking with the branding statements since it\u2019s reader\/company focused.

Give hiring managers a comprehensive view of your experience in this essential resume section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For each job, include the following information on your resume:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The month\/year you started and ended your work at the company (or \u201cpresent\u201d if you\u2019re still employed by the company)<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name of the company<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The city\/state where you worked<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your specific job title<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your responsibilities and achievements<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use bullet points and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resumespice.com\/200-action-verbs-and-power-words-to-include-in-your-resume\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">action verbs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to describe your responsibilities and achievements. Also, choose ones that apply closely to the job to which you\u2019re applying. For example, maybe the job description specifically asks for someone who can lead weekly sales team meetings.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have the experience, list it: <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lead 10-member sales team meeting &#8212; $70M territory across California Coast. Client industries include oil & gas, chemicals, pulp & paper, and food & beverage.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Numbers and percentages are very persuasive so use them as much as possible to prove you deliver results. Here are a few more examples:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased month-on-month organic blog traffic by 75% in less than 12 months.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lead accounting for 110-employee organization with $1.4B in annual revenue.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Report directly to COO while managing a 15-person manufacturing team.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have percentages or numbers to share, be descriptive with your responsibilities and the skills you developed at different jobs. This is especially important for recent graduates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>\r\n<b><\/b><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>4.

For example, if you graduated with your MBA in 2017, add it first and then put your Bachelor's degree information.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, use this section to share special academic projects and your GPA if it was high. If you\u2019re a new graduate, didn\u2019t go to college, or haven\u2019t graduated yet, list your high school, clubs, study abroad programs, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>5. Skills\u00a0<\/b><b><\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This resume section is your opportunity to let the recruiter or hiring manager know your unique skill sets and core competencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">List 5-15 skills, beginning with your strongest skills first. Here\u2019s an example of a core competency section for a sales leader:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>CORE COMPETENCIES<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corporate Account Management \u00b7 Consultative Sales \u00b7 Strategic Planning \u00b7 Customer Relations \u00b7 Client Retention \u00b7 Sales & Operation Management \u00b7 Technical Acumen \u00b7 P&L Responsibility \u00b7 Talent Development \u00b7 Product Development \u00b7 Supply Chain Management \u00b7 Value-Based Business Solutions \u00b7 Business Development<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, make sure that the skills you list relate to the job to which you\u2019re applying. Your expert piano playing skills, for example, shouldn\u2019t be listed on a resume being submitted for a Marketing Manager position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also divide this resume section into two. Maybe you\u2019re applying for an IT position. Since this is a technical job, you could include a \u201cTechnical Skills\u201d section that includes very specific IT skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Hint: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weave job description keywords throughout your resume, not just in one section, to help with an ATS scan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Additional resume sections\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There you have it. <\/span><b>These are the five non-negotiable sections you should include on your resume.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are optional ones that you can add. Extra resume sections really depend on the job to which you\u2019re applying.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Say that you\u2019re applying for an HR position that requires interacting with international applicants. Including a separate resume section for \u201cLanguages\u201d that you speak would probably be appropriate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are just a few examples of other optional resume sections:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Hobbies & Interests: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially if you\u2019re a recent graduate without much experience, this section can be beneficial for highlighting hobbies that relate to the job or company. If you\u2019re applying for a marketing position, your interest in graphic design would be relevant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Certifications: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use this section to show off your professional certifications from universities and industry groups. Maybe you\u2019re applying for a teaching position. List your ESL certifications. Or maybe you\u2019re applying to be a business manager. The Six Sigma certification would be appropriate to include.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Volunteer Work: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volunteer work such as helping at soup kitchens or running in charity marathons shows your willingness to help others. It also suggests you\u2019re a team player. You can format this section exactly like your \u201cExperience\u201d section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Awards: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Were you the Sales Manager of the Year?

Also, be careful with optional sections. Make sure they\u2019re really necessary and aren\u2019t going to take valuable space and attention away from your \u201cExperience\u201d section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n<h2><b>The correct order of resume sections<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, the right order for your resume sections depends on your level of experience and the job to which you\u2019re applying.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, here\u2019s a good rule of thumb to follow with the structure (based on your experience level).<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Entry-Level:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a recent graduate, you likely haven\u2019t had many positions.
