Qualifications section on Resume...

I got rid of it a while ago but recently read an article that says it is necessary on a resume.

Does everyone have it? Do you have it bulleted or in paragraph form...? If you have it in sentences, are they compelte or fragments of info?

Thanks!

Re: Qualifications section on Resume...

I'm in your field (as you know ) and have a 3-page CV, but no section for qualifications. If you want I can email you my CV to show what i have. i've been on way too many search committees recently, and i don't often see the qualifications section in our field.

Re: Qualifications section on Resume...

i recommend bullets -- much easier to read overall for everything.

i have a 'skills and qualifications' section that just bullets out regular programs i'm familiar with (ie office) and then programs relevant to my industry, etc.

Re: Qualifications section on Resume...

in my field, teaching, that was always covered under education and certifications. depending upon your field, i would assume things like a certain license, certifcate or degree earned would deem you qualified and i would list it under those areas. but if you're in something where you have to have specific skills sets and membership in a particulalr organization, that would seem to fit well under "qualificatiosn." i think you could make that category very broad or very narrow, depending upon where you put other things like degrees earned, etc.

Re: Qualifications section on Resume...

The best Qualifications sections I've seen have bulleted sentence fragments that each start with a strong verb.
