If your areas of expertise include excellent communication skills or if you are a results oriented professional go ahead and say it. What really handicaps your resume is misuse of words like making a title: TRANSITIONAL SKILLS instead of TRANSFERABLE SKILLS in a transition resume. Another common way to cripple your resume is to not make it clear which position you are targeting. This is serious, suppose the Department Manager or HR Manager is hiring for 25 different positions. The best thing you can do for your resume is of course to hire a professional to write it. Face it, resume writing is a highly specialized skill. Most of us pay a barber or hair stylist to cut our hair for the sole purpose of making a good first impression. So why on earth would you want to have a dull work history for a resume?
