Project Coordinator Resume Sample

Monster demonstrates how to organize your project coordinator resume from start to finish.

By Dillon Price, Monster Contributor

As a project coordinator, you play a vital role in helping project managers carry out projects from start to finish. If you have a knack for managing deadlines, maintaining schedules, and keeping track of supply orders, put your organizational expertise to use when creating your project coordinator resume.

Think of writing your resume as another project, broken out into smaller steps. Start by dividing it into sections, each with a specific purpose. Then, fill in the details of your skills, experience, education, and accomplishments. And finally add the finishing touches—proofreading and formatting.

It used to be commonplace to start with a project coordinator resume objective, but that's been replaced with a qualifications summary (also know as a career summary). Below your contact info, write a short paragraph that gives some detail about your work history and the areas you excelled. Here's a tip: Take a look at the job ad to see the qualifications that are mentioned toward the beginning of the ad.

For example, if an ad says it's looking for someone who has experience with "full-cycle implementation of projects" and "setting deadlines," those phrases are valuable project coordinator resume keywords that you can include in your summary, as we did below.

Not sure what project coordinator skills to emphasize in your resume? Monster’s project coordinator resume sample provides an example of how to make your time-management, communication, organizational, and multitasking skills stand out.
