In modern resumes,
subheadings are used to separate and prioritize essential information
as it pertains to the current job search.
They also serve as visual cues to the hiring manager that
one section has ended and another begun.
Subheadings can be
centered:
Professional
Experience
Or flush left:
Professional
Experience
They may be underscored
for added emphasis:
Professional
Experience
Or
set off by horizontal lines:
Subheadings to Consider Using on
a Modern Resume:
- Summary of Qualifications or Profile
- Career Accomplishments
- Computer Skills
- Professional Experience or Work
History
- Education
- Specialized Training
Order of Subheadings
In all modern resumes,
information is prioritized according to importance, with the most
relevant pieces -- as they relate to the current job search -- appearing
first.
Therefore, if you
were a recent graduate with an academic, rather than a work-related,
background in your chosen field, Education would precede Professional
Experience. On the other
hand, if you have had several years of solid work experience in
your field, the Professional Experience would come first.
The
key is always to highlight the most relevant data.
