Resume Writing

Introduction

Resumes focus on your previous job experiences. However, there may be times when including a skill or accomplishment that was gained outside of your work history could greatly influence a hiring manager. For example, did you win City Volunteer of the Year for your work with a homeless shelter? Or perhaps you have a useful language skill, such as being fluent in Spanish. There is a place for these types of things, as well as a spot to include references if you choose, on your resume.

In this lesson, you will determine what type of additional information is appropriate to include on your resume.
