| With a different colored pen, mark your favorite skills and experience. If there's something you love to do, look for a job where you can do it. If there's a type of atmosphere you work well in, try to find a similar situation. Keep the list and add to it as you learn new things. |

Skills are the things you know how to do, from managing people to driving a car. Experience includes the situations where you learned or exercised those skills. Together, they're the meat of your resume. Write it all down. Take a pad of paper and a pen and list all your school, work, volunteer, and life experience. Write down where and when you did what you did, or learned what you know. Include awards, scholarships, and publications. Now list every skill you have. Start with any special training that applies to your job objective, but include every ability you have, no matter how irrelevant to the work world it seems, or how long ago you gained it. This master list will remind you of all the things you can do--many of which may apply to work in surprising ways. Mark relevant skills and experience. Run through your master list and mark things that seem applicable to your job objective. Make a separate list, prioritizing each item according to how relevant it seems to your target job and how impressive it will be to a potential employer. The ones at the top of the list are what you should emphasize on your resume.
