Sample Resume with Skills Section
One kind of resume format that many applicants use is that of the resume with skills section. It is, as the name implies, a resume that incorporates a special skills section that is in addition to the standard chronology review of skills and accomplishments. A resume with skills section offers two basic functions: first, to point out impressive skills that an applicant may have; and second, to perhaps, notify the employer of skills not already referred to in the chronology section. In this sample resume below, we show you how to incorporate this skills section for maximum attention.
