How do you list a certified athletic trainer job on a resume?

Be sure to include how many years you've worked as an athletic trainer, your certifications, your specific area of focus and target client age, and the skills you bring to the table.

The certifications section is one of the most powerful parts of your resume. It demonstrates your industry knowledge in the field of fitness and your specific training skills. For this reason, we recommend putting the certifications section towards the top of your resume after the profile summary.

The profile summary and the work experience section should use many action verbs and quantifiable measurements of success whenever possible. For work experience, you should include three to six bullets highlighting your skills using real-world examples. For example, 'created emergency actions plans for all 422 team sports events.

If you do not have a lot of work experience thus far in your career, spend time elaborating more on your education and including things such as courses excelled at, GPA if high, any awards, or group projects you may have worked on that are relevant.

For example, "Provided free morning yoga classes every morning during exams week."
