Build the skills section of your resume.
Describe your work and, if you have it, paste the job posting. You get hard skills, soft skills and a clean skills section to paste into your resume, limited to skills your work actually shows.
How it works
- Enter the job you want.
- Describe what you have done and the tools you use.
- Paste the job posting if you have it, so the skills match its words.
- Copy the list and remove anything that is not true.
Questions people ask
How many skills should I list?
Eight to fifteen of the most relevant ones. A long list of everything you have ever touched reads as filler.
Hard skills or soft skills?
Both, but prove soft skills in your bullet points. List hard skills, tools and certifications in the skills section.
Can I add skills I do not have yet?
No. Only list what you can do. Interviews and tests will find out.
