How do I add skills to an Admissions Officer resume?

1
Review the job posting closely.

Go through the Admissions Officer posting you're applying to, and identify hard skills the company is looking for. For example, skills like Research, Higher Education and International Admissions are possible skills. These are skills you should try to include on your resume.

2
Add industry skills like Admissions and Higher Education Administration.

Add other common skills from your industry - such as SITS, Administration and Student Recruiting - into your resume if they're relevant.

3
Add skills into your work experience.

Incorporate skills - like Enrollment Management, Career Counseling and Student Counseling - into your work experience too. This shows hiring managers that you have practical experience with these tools, techniques and skills.

4
Emphasize accomplishments that involved a team.

Teamwork is a common competency hiring managers look for, particularly for Admissions Officer roles, so include at least 1-2 examples of accomplishments that involved leading a team, or collaborating with others to complete a project.

5
Emphasize your administrative skills.

Recruiters look for administrative skills on your Admissions Officer, so highlight your experience with key administrative functions, like organizing workshops or communicating with customers and employees.
