How to write a procurement agent resume

Craft a resume summary statement

Put a resume summary on the top of your resume to highlight your accomplishments. A resume summary sums up your experience and skills, making it easy for hiring managers to understand your qualifications at a glance. Here are some tips to write a strong, impressive resume summary:

Step 1: Mention your current job title or the role you're pursuing.

Step 2: Include your years of experience in procurement agent-related roles. Consider adding relevant company and industry experience as relevant to the job listing.

Step 3: Highlight your greatest accomplishments. Here is your chance to make sure your biggest wins aren't buried in your resume.

Step 4: Again, keep it short. Your goal is to summarize your experience and highlight your accomplishments, not write a paragraph.

These tips will help you demonstrate why you are the perfect fit for the procurement agent position.

Please upload your resume so Zippia’s job hunt AI can draft a summary statement for you.

List the right project manager skills

Use your Skills section to show you have the knowledge and technical ability to do the job. 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 procurement agent interviews.

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

Strategic Sourcing

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 procurement agent experience bullet points

Remember, your resume is not a list of responsibilities or a job description. This is your chance to show why you're good at your job and what you accomplished.

Use the XYZ formula for your work experience bullet points. Here's how it works:

Use strong action verbs like Led, Built, or Optimized.
Follow up with numbers when possible to support your results. How much did performance improve? How much revenue did you drive?
Wrap it up by explaining the actions you took to achieve the result and how you made an impact.

This creates bullet points that read Achieved X, measured by Y, by doing Z.

Here are great bullet points from procurement agent 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 for resumes:

Bachelor's Degree in business

American InterContinental University, Chandler, AZ

2005 - 2008

Bachelor's Degree in business

Strayer University, Washington, DC

2000 - 2003

Highlight your procurement agent certifications on your resume

Certifications are a great way to showcase special expertise or niche skills. Some jobs even require certifications to be hired.

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 procurement agent resume:

Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP)
Six Sigma Green Belt
Certified Professional - Human Resource (IPMA-CP)
Certified Product Safety Manager (CPSM)
Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM)
Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM)
