Skills-Based Resume Sample
Skills-Based Resume
This resume style focuses on specific skills you have and aspects of your experience, centering
on those that are most transferable to the job you’re seeking—as opposed to a chronological or
reverse-chronological resume, which emphasizes your work history. For example, if you have a
lot of food service experience, but are applying to an office-setting job, a skills-based resume
can help you effectively highlight your qualifications.
The Heading and Education
sections should be the same
as a Chronological resume.
