CV skills – how to write them

Overview of your competences

Once you have identified your competences, you can list them. This will make your CV more impressive to the potential employer. This way you can tailor your CV to suit different job roles. In addition to making your CV look good, it will show how much you know and are capable of doing. Having your skills listed on your CV will give the employer a better idea of what to expect from you.

CV with core competences

The next step is to list your core competencies. You can use these skills to set you apart from other candidates. Choose them based on the type of job you’re applying for – you can include soft skills too. Be sure to include real-world examples and facts to support your claims.

When including your core competencies, make sure to keep your examples short and to the point. A short, punchy paragraph on core competencies is a good way to keep the reader’s attention and highlight only the most relevant skills. You can also include them in point form.
