As well as providing a history of your experience, your resume is the perfect place to highlight your strengths and abilities. For every role you apply to, tailor the skills section of your resume so that the information included matches the skills mentioned in the job description. You can also weave in your skills in the experience section, as you describe the tasks and responsibilities of roles you've held in the past. The skills that you include in your resume and cover letters will help your job application materials get selected by the systems employers use to select applicants to interview. You should also be prepared to mention your most relevant skills during job interviews. Not sure which skills to include? The job description is a great guide for what employers want to see in candidates. As well, there are several much-prized general skills that nearly every employer wants - you can browse these skills below, as well as reviewing skills by category.
