Creativity and effective decision-making are also qualities under the umbrella of leadership. It\u2019s not hard to see why such a broad category is so desired by employers; usually by at least two thirds in surveys. It\u2019s never too soon to learn leadership: project management, for example, can be done at work, school, or through voluntary activities. Many world-renowned institutions from the London School of Economics to Harvard also run online credentialed courses, including those to suit a variety of sectors. Guest poster\u00a0Abhyank has covered the keywords<\/a>\u00a0to indicate leadership in your resume, which employers will be on the lookout for.<\/p>\n Most work can be divided into a series of discrete tasks. Preparing for these tasks and being efficient in arranging them relieves a lot of pressure that might otherwise be placed on supervisors. Though a short read, Brian Tracy\u2019s\u00a0Eat That Frog!<\/em>\u00a0is read worldwide<\/a>\u00a0for its advice on the principles of prioritisation, planning and avoiding procrastination. One of the obvious indicators on a resume is the ability to work to deadlines, but organisation intersects with leadership and project management, too.<\/p>\n The contemporary working world moves so fast that multi-skilled employees who are quick to continually adapt to new skills and challenges are highly sought after. Luckily, there are ways to develop the art of picking up skills quickly.\u00a0Business coach Pat Flynn wrote a book<\/a>\u00a0emphasising speed and efficiency in collecting, or \u201cstacking\u201d skill sets. Flynn explains and illustrates how to achieve more with an hour of practice a day, and how to leverage it to make money.<\/p>\n Additionally, specific memorisation techniques\u00a0such as Spaced Repetition Systems<\/a>\u00a0can also put applicants at an advantage, so be sure to take advantage of them when learning. Technical skills and language abilities obviously speak to your learning skills on a resume. You can also add a section on skills acquired under each work experience entry to show how you’re continuously enriching your abilities.<\/p>\n Dealing with qualitative and quantitative information are often part of psychometric tests. On the quantitative side, the reality is that private, public and third sector organisations measure themselves in numbers. Showing a track record of working with those numbers, especially to improve the important ones like profit, is massively important.<\/p>\n This includes being able to take the initiative at work, rather than waiting for others to provide you with information and guide you through it every time. Noting instances where you\u2019ve worked independently with data sets, large volumes of text, or had to seek information demonstrate these skills.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Above are some of the more popular skills to include in a resume. A number of them can be further subdivided, however, and being specific rather than generic will help when targeting a position. Finally, while it’s good to show employers what you’re capable of, always remember to trim and tailor your resume to highlight skills relevant to the position.<\/p>\nPlanning, Organisation and Prioritisation<\/h2>\n
