The best way to highlight your skills is in short, easy to read bullet points, more importantly, detailed bullet points.
Steps:
Brainstorm: Start listing accomplishments you have performed at your job.
What specific task did you perform?
What did you contribute/accomplish?
How often did you perform this task?
Try focusing on projects & accomplishments rather than duties.
Start Your Bullets with Power Verbs: Use the appropriate tense. If it’s a current position, use present tense such as “analyzing.” If it’s a past position, use past tense verbs such as “analyzed.”
Try to add numbers when possible to measure your performance, but only if you believe that your performance is average, or above average.
Create a detailed sentence that is straight to the point.
