What should a case manager put on a resume?

The profile summary is a great way to provide a concise snapshot to potential employers about who you are as a case manager (or career goals if you're just starting out), what you bring to the table, and what your top skills are.

For example, "Dependable case manager with over five years of experience with helping families, child services, mental health, and general social work."

The work experience section should continue to highlight your qualifications. Be sure to include three to six bullet points that provide real-world examples of your case management experience.

The experience section should focus on a particular skillset and, when possible, provide quantifiable achievements. For example, "Placed 12 young children into permanent foster care homes."

If you lack work experience, the education section is a great place to supplement your qualifications. Include any relevant courses you did well in or any group project experience you may have. If you have a certificate in community case management, include the school and the year that it was completed.

Also, consider adding a separate certification section if you have two or more relevant certifications, such as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) or case manager certification (CCMC).
