Topic Name: Quick Resume Question
Message Name: why do you want to add "technical skills" to your resume?
Date Posted: 01/02/2006
In Reply To: in your "Skills" section. That is like writing multimeter and oscilloscope under Skills section for your resume to Intel or AMD. If you are that cramped for space, remove PSPICE details. You will never do LRC simulations if you work for MC firms. Also, there are a lot of engineering people at McK so they'll know any undergrad in EE have used SPICE so it's really nothing special.
Message: a mgmt consulting resume typically has three sections: (i) education (ii) work experience (include internships) and (iii) leadership/teamwork/extra-curriculars the KEY word is impact. and there is no need to talk about computer skills. dont mention proficiency even with tools like matlab and mathematics. really doesnt count. good luck
