Kenneth Coley: As is the case in any generation-does your resume reveal that you love God's church and His people? Serving. Leading. Teaching. Witnessing in your community and internationally. In a paid capacity is preferred, but even in a volunteer position. Now enter COVID...can you do this creatively? Are you an effective communicator in writing, on camera, and in virtual groups? What technology training do you have?
Effective teaching skills are crucial especially when it comes to engaging group members. As people return, we are seeing an incredible hunger to reconnect with other believers. Teaching that includes engagement and collaboration is essential.
Dr. Louis Stulman Ph.D.: All of these skills stand out on resumes as well as language proficiency in Hebrew for reading the Old Testament and Greek for reading the New Testament, as well as community service, strong interpersonal skills, and travel and cultural immersion experiences.
Dr. Louis Stulman Ph.D.: We often tell Religious Studies majors to build bridges wherever they find themselves, including and especially their local communities, but at the same time, not to hesitate to venture beyond their "comfortable worlds" to unfamiliar places inundated with needs.
