Time-Management Skills Resume Sample

Flip your work history into a skills-based resume when you want to change careers.

By Kathleen Walder, Monster Contributor

Are you bored with your current job or think you’re in the wrong career? Do you see another job you might enjoy in a new career that offers more opportunities for advancement and better pay? Since you have no experience in that area, a resume that lists your past jobs probably won’t get much attention. Instead, you can write a skills-based resume that focuses on a function that’s integral to your new job or career. A time-management skills resume can do just that, highlighting the greatest strength you can bring to a job in a new area.

A strong, well-written professional summary is the heart of your skills-based resume. Use a few sentences to give a recruiter or hiring manager an easy-to-read snapshot of your career. Then, in the Key Contributions section, describe your projects and accomplishments in more detail, broken out into the skills you want to emphasize, such as time management, efficiency improvement, and project coordination. Your professional experience—with a list of job titles, company names, and years—will comprise a smaller portion of your resume.
