Skills Format Resume good for Consulting Background?
Asked by lipgloss
I have a consulting background therefore the work is project based and though the industry is specific, the work involved ranges from analysis, to project management to software implementation. Therefore, I think a skills resume is more appropriate rather than list all different projects. Am I on the right track?

Best Answer:
yes I think so. You need to start with the skills list and then put together a career track that contains the projects and the areas where you made personal contributions. Make sure that it is clear that you made a difference , talk about the things that you actually did ... "I did" not "we did" Roy

Skillls or Functinal format is Definitely important to elaborate the EXPERTISE profile. But that by itself is not sufficient. As a Consultant; YES one applies His/Her skills, Expertise and Experience to Define, Develop, Deploy, and set systems for CIP on Results / Solutions for potential Business / Enterprise. Also important is to detail the EXPERIENCE profile with the RESULTS expressed in terms of Program/Project size/savings, ROI, Savings Value, Time period Savings, and Additional achievements in areas of Business / Market penetrations achieved. Skill sets, Knowledge, and Training imparted to Company Functional Personnel to carry and Maintain the Goals. plus Best Practices developed in areas of Product, Process, People capabilities. I believe this savings expressed from Business point of view gives Business / Enterprise better information for further dialogs to achieve their goals and potentials on returns on their investments.
