What is a Skill Based Resume?
What is a Skill Based Resume?Skill-based resumes are very different from traditional resumes. What is traditional is normally the time spent in education, work experience and certificates or degrees you may have had. Skill-based resumes are a completely different concept.In today's world, people generally have no time to waste. Work moves too fast and there is just not enough time to attend all the schools and certifications needed for any career. Even if a person were able to do all this work it would be very expensive. It would cost a great deal of money to educate a person at all the levels. This is where skill-based resumes can come in to play.Skill-based resumes focus on those areas where a person has an experience which you know that they will need when you interview them. Instead of wasting time trying to find the 'right' college for an employee, for example, what you do is create a resume that focuses on specific areas. Instead of going into detail about each specific school, college or university, it focuses on an entire job.For example, you could have several past employers give you a list of the most basic information about your background and salary history. You could then use this information to design a resume focused solely on your employment with one company. You could include your salary history and the companies you worked for. This is considered an example of a skill-based resume.Skills also are used in resumes that show past awards. Here, you would not need the schooling for education, experience or certificates. Instead, the employer will simply look at the awards that you have won.If you are looking for a resume to be proud of, then your personal qualities should be showcased on your resume. If you had a bad driving record, you would want to leave this information out on your resume. Your positive accomplishments would show that you are responsible and good with money.Another important area of a resume to be included is hobbies. A person c an list a number of hobbies, but they need to be listed in order. If you listed writing, you would need to make sure that your list of hobbies was written in alphabetical order. This would be very hard to do if you wrote your hobbies down randomly.Carefully chosen information is an important part of a resume. Listing all of your jobs, experience and awards are usually a good idea. However, adding skills, hobbies and awards to a resume is not a bad idea.
