Continuing education

Employers value seeing a commitment to learning, so this section is important. If you haven't taken a class lately, look for one in your field. There are many free webinars and other online training if cost is a barrier. Here is Maya’s continuing education section:

Maya chose to:

• Use the heading “Professional Associations.” Other options could be "Professional Development," “Advanced Training,” “Project Management Training,” or “Additional Coursework.”
• Lead with the most important credential, her Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) designation. The credential is more important than the date order.
• Only list the most recent and relevant courses taken. She deleted trainings that reinforce her old role, like Microsoft Word.
• Use precise language to describe the courses, including the full name of the application. This helps both for credibility and to help your credentials by found by applicant tracking systems that use keyword searching.
