Q&A: Resume Advice – Key information that appeals to an employer

Q:  What do you think are the best attributes to include on a resume?  Bonnie

A: Most employers have a small window of time to review the numerous resumes they receive, therefore, some of the more appealing information to include is:

  • Career objective
  • Problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Oral and written communications
  • Leadership skills
  • Team-building skills
  • Bilingual skills
  • Performance and productivity improvement
  • Project management skills
  • Prior employment that is relevant to the position being applied for

The goal is to set yourself apart from other applicants by highlighting your skills, experience and qualifications.
