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:

Look to the job listing. You often need to include the exact keywords from the job description. Take note of the skills listed for the job.
Put all relevant hard and soft skills in your skills section.
Be specific. If you are too broad, you may not be giving the best picture of your skills and leave the hiring manager uncertain of your abilities.
Be up to date. Software names change and companies merge. Don't look out of touch by being careless.
Be accurate. Spelling and even upper or lowercase can dramatically change meanings. Make sure you are correctly listing your skills.

These five steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some sales lead/sales associate interviews.

Here are example skills to include in your “Area of Expertise” on a sales lead/sales associate 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 sales lead/sales associate 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 sales lead/sales associate 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 sales lead/sales associate resumes:

High School Diploma

2009 - 2009

High School Diploma

2011 - 2011
