How do I add skills to a Sales Trainer resume?

1
Review the job posting closely.

Go through the Sales Trainer posting you're applying to, and identify hard skills the company is looking for. For example, skills like Training & Development, Sales Trainings and Sales are possible skills. These are skills you should try to include on your resume.

4
Show examples of where you trained people.

On Sales Trainer resumes, you should give specific accomplishments that involve you training others, whether that's in your team or other stakeholders.
