Group skills by category

Use categories such as technical skills, tools, programming languages, business skills, languages and certificates.

Avoid vague proficiency claims

Specific tools, use cases, project proof and output are stronger than saying proficient in everything.

Match the job description

Keep skills that appear in the JD and make sure they are supported by work or project evidence.

FAQ

Common questions

How many skills should I include?

Include relevant skills you can explain. Do not add keywords you cannot discuss in an interview.

Should I rate my skill level?

Only if the rating is backed by certificates, projects or outcomes. Project evidence is usually stronger.
