List the right project manager skills

Many resumes are filtered out by hiring software before a human eye ever sees them. A robust Skills section can let recruiters (and bots) know you have the skills to do the job. Here is how to make the most of your skills section:

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 director of instruction interviews.

Here are example skills to include in your “Area of Expertise” on a director of instruction resume:

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 director of instruction experience bullet points

Your resume is not a list of responsibilities or a job description. Instead, it is your chance to show your accomplishments and show why you're good at what you do.

Use the What, How, and Why format. Answering these questions turns a bland job description into an effective showcase of your abilities.
What were your responsibilities or goals?
How did you accomplish them?
Why were your results important? (How did it impact your company? Can you quantify the results in numbers? )

Here are effective examples from director of instruction resumes:

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 from director of instruction resumes:

Doctoral Degree in elementary education

University of Delaware, Newark, DE

2010 - 2013

Master's Degree in english

Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ

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