How to write an aquatic director resume

Craft a resume summary statement

A well-written resume summary is basically an elevator pitch. You are summing up your skills and experience in a few sentences to wow recruiters, hiring managers, and decision makers into giving you an interview. Here are some tips to putting your best foot first with your resume summary:

Step 1: Start with your professional title, or the one you aspire to.

Step 2: Detail your years of experience in aquatic director-related roles and your industry experience.

Step 3: What are your biggest professional wins? Here is your opportunity to highlight your strongest accomplishments by placing them at the start of your resume.

Step 4: Don't forget, your goal is to summarize your experience. Keep it short and sweet, so it's easy for recruiters to quickly understand why you're a great hire.

These four steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some aquatic director interviews.

Your Skills section is an easy way to let recruiters know you have the skills to do the job. Just as importantly, it can help your resume not get filtered out by hiring software. Here is how to make the most of your skills section and make sure you have the right keywords:

Start with the job listing. Frequently, the keywords looked for by recruiters will be listed. Be careful to include all skills in the job listing you have experience with.
Consider all the software and tools you use on a daily basis. When in doubt, list them!
Make sure you use accurate and up to date terms for all the skills listed.

These five steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some aquatic director interviews.

How to structure your work experience

Your work experience should be structured:

With your most recent roles first, followed by earlier roles in reverse chronological order.
Job title, along with company name and location on the left.
Put the corresponding dates of employment on the left side.
Keep only relevant jobs on your work experience.

How to write aquatic director experience bullet points

Your resume is your chance to show your biggest accomplishments. Don't just list your job responsibilities, instead take the opportunity to show why you're really good at what you do. Here is how you do that:

Start with strong action verbs like managed, spearheaded, created, etc. Your goal is to show what you did and verbs will help demonstrate your contributions.
Use numbers to quantify your achievements. Did you save time with a new report? Increase revenue? How large was the team you managed?
Keep it concise. You're highlighting your achievements. Consider if all details you are sharing are relevant, or can be written more efficiently.

Add an education section to your resume

The education section should display your highest degree first.

Place your education section appropriately on your resume. If you graduated over 5 years ago, this section should be at the bottom of your resume. If you just graduated and lack relevant work experience, the education section should go to the top.

If you have a bachelor's or master's degree, do not list your high school education. If your graduation year is more than 15-20 years ago, it's better not to include dates in this section.

Here are some examples of good education entries for resumes:

Bachelor's Degree in general education, specific areas

University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC

2006 - 2009

Bachelor's Degree in health education

West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV

2003 - 2006

Highlight your aquatic director certifications on your resume

If you have any additional certifications or education-like achievements, add them to the education section.

Start simple. Include the full name of the certification. It's also good to mention the organization that issued the certification. Next, specify when you obtained the certification.

If you have any of these certifications, be sure to include them on your aquatic director resume:

First Aid, CPR and AED Instructor
Lifeguard Certification
Instructor
Certified Personal Trainer
