2. List your strengths

On the other hand, you should never include just random skills but ought to always think about what are the hiring managers looking for. Therefore, read the job description multiple times to identify qualities you feel are important for the role and, if you believe you have them, add them to your resume. Finally, don't make this section loo long - 8-9 most relevant strengths are enough and again, don't make the stuff up and only include things that are true.

It should be about 2-3 sentences long and ought to be placed at the very top of your resume, right behind the contact information.
