What should be on a dietitian's resume?

We recommend beginning with a strong profile summary or objective. In one to 4 sentences, highlight your experiences, specialty, core skills, and maybe a top achievement.

For example, "Friendly and Energetic Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with 10+ years experience. Articulate, knowledgeable, strong background in developing and delivering health-related presentations. Exceptional people skills."

Next, you're going to want to elaborate on your specific experiences working as a dietitian. Here, focus more on your accomplishments rather than just listing your experience.

For example, "Tracked customer's progress, with 79% of clients reaching their health-related goals within six months."

If you're a newly registered dietitian without experience, you'll want to focus on your educational achievements and coursework, license, and certifications sections to showcase what you bring to the table. Like work experience l, include some bullets summarizing your development of key skills.

Finally, include a list of skills that include hard and soft skills. Demonstrating your skills is crucial, but much like with fats, carbs, and protein, you need the right mix. When in doubt, use the job description as your recipe guide.
