Associations/Leadership/Volunteer Experience
This is the section in which you can place skills and abilities that aren't immediately obvious by your degree(s) or positions held, such as your skills with software programs, sports honors or knowledge of foreign languages.  Remember it is extremely important to mention any volunteer work you may have participated in and be sure to list that you were a college athlete, which requires an individual to be dedicated, driven, and shows that you can work in a team environment.

Example of additional skills:

Additional Skills/Leadership/Volunteer

Accomplishments

This section shows your qualifications and is typically only one to two sentences. This will provide credibility to what you have listed in your objective.

Example:

Over one year as an intern in the sales department, I was chosen out of 20 college students for the internship which allowed me to be responsible for $150 K in revenues, I aquired a reputation for exceeding sales goals while working in a team environment.


Professional/Academic Associations


If you are a member of a professional/academic association, list it, along with any committee position you hold/held with the association or awards you have won from the association.

All professional and academic associations, past and present give an indication of your interest in personal and career development. Although associations are not required on a resume it is an immediate way to show top hiring managers your professionalism, teamwork and success in the work force.

Example:

Current Member – Women in Business, Treasurer
Past Member – International Business Communications, President

NCAA Women’s Water Polo Team
