1 SKILLS: The term "skills" describes specific abilities or talents that a person possesses. This section of a resumé usually gives further information about an individual's abilities that are not specifically related to work experience. One's skills do not necessarily relate to the job, for example: being "certified in CPR" does not relate necessarily to the requirements of a cosmetics company. An "ability" is synonymous with a "skill".
2 EDUCATION: The term "education" describes the level of learning that a person has achieved. This section of a resumé gives exact information about a person's academic background: names of institutions; dates attended; and degrees, qualifications, or diplomas received.
3 EXPERIENCE: The term "experience" describes the various things that have happened in a person's life. This section of a resumé gives exact information about where a person has worked, the position or title held, the dates there, and specific responsibilities and duties. This section is used to give the past history of the candidate.
4 INTERESTS: The term "interests" describes the various things that a person likes to do in their free time. This section of a resumé provides additional information about a person's hobbies and activities outside of the workplace.
5 OBJECTIVE: The term "objective" describes something which someone is working towards. This section of a resumé clearly states the professional goal or aim that someone is trying to achieve. "Goal" and "objective" are synonymous in this context.
