Hi,

Can you put “enthusiasm” or “helpfulness” as some of your skills under the “Relevant Skills” section on your resume, and then use action words to describe how these skills have been utilized and strengthened? I used to put those skills under my skills section (without using action words), and now when I am rewriting my resume, I was wondering if I can still do so.

Also, what if you are still actively involved in a volunteer organization, and you perform certain tasks that would be useful to mention under a specific skill category – would you use present or past tense for the action words? It sounds kind of strange to shift from present to past tense… so I figured I would ask you for some advice!

Thank you so much,
Vicky

I love this information. Got the resume pretty well set, but you said in the cover letter info to include the name of the hiring manager and to NEVER address as “To Whom It May Concern”…ok..so what if you are applying online, and you have no clue who the hiring manager is?? How do you address the person to whome you are sending the cover letter?

Thanks!

thanks for this! Although I am not looking for a job, it is always a good idea to keep your resume up to date. I will be reviewing my resume, and keeping the six action word in mind.

It’s a good way to get you going if you find it hard to get started. All you have to do is pick up your keywords and expand it with specifics, stay away from vague details. When you could, keep your resume in one page, hiring managers don’t have all day so it’s important that you have killer summary and don’t add objective – this is obsolete.
