- Assist with financial budget
- Knowledge of human resources principles
- Prepare events for staff
Observation: These are samples of skills statements that might appear on a resume.
Opinion: Stay away from these skills statements. Stay away from "assist with", "knowledge of", and "prepare". You can do better. Tell me exactly how you assisted: what tools did you use; who was your audience; what was the result of the work you performed, etc.
To quickly improve your resume, use verbs that accurately and precisely describe your skills and abilities and how you have applied your knowledge.
To help you out, I've included a one-page cheat sheet on our Academic Affairs UExplore website that lists at least 100 great verbs. Check them out!
