Why include a skills section in your CV

The skills section of your resume is an opportunity to showcase your abilities and qualifications that are relevant to the position you are applying for. It is not meant to replace the more important sections, such as the summary or the work experience sections.


How to write the skills section of your CV

Review the job description: Before writing your skills section, review the job description to identify the specific skills and qualifications the employer is looking for. This will help you tailor your skills section to the job and demonstrate that you have the skills they are seeking.

List your skills: Create a list of all the skills you possess that are relevant to the position. This might include technical skills, soft skills, language skills, or other relevant abilities. Make sure to not use the exact same expressions in both your summary, work-experience, and skills sections. Doing so might make your resume a bit too repetitive.

Be honest: Be honest about your skills and abilities. Don't exaggerate or claim to have skills you don't possess.
