How do you say you 'led a team' on a resume?

The first place to introduce yourself and your experience as a team leader is to state it in the profile summary or objective. In one to four sentences, touch on who you are as a candidate and what you bring to the table.

For example, "Results-oriented team leader with expertise in outstanding balances, invoicing, document control, and financial reporting. Detail-oriented and efficient, able to encourage staff and form strong relationships, with strengths in candidate training, as well as project and time management."

Next, you're going to want to demonstrate your achievements as a team leader with a well-crafted work experience section. Begin each bullet with an action verb and try to include data about your success as a team leader. For example, "Calibrated predictive dialler program to reduce dead calls by 80% and increase the productivity of human resources by 400%."

Don't forget to include a list of hard and soft skills that reflect your team leader skills. Some important skills to include are mentorship, entrepreneurial mindset, project management, communication, interpersonal skills, and teamwork.
