What each job page gives you
There are 31 job pages above. Each one lists the skills that job's adverts screen for, grouped by type of work, so you can see which ones to put first. Every skill comes with a short note on what it means in that job and an example resume bullet you can adapt with your own numbers. Where an official job profile exists, the page also shows what it lists for the role, and most pages end with the questions people ask about that job's skills.
How to add skills to a resume
- Read the advert first: copy what it asks for, in its exact words, into a list.
- One section: 8 to 12 of them, the hard ones first, grouped if the list is long.
- Prove them in your bullets: each key one should appear in at least one experience bullet with a number.
- Summary: name your two strongest in the first line.
- Check the match: run the resume and the advert through the free ATS checker before you apply.
