skills beyond what you learned in class. Your Degree is something that just

bookish zone.

competitive & demanding that you need to smartly & confidently sell
your skills. Here are a few tips to get this formula right-
·

description of your desired job position. If you want your skills to stand out
more than your degree, then create a separate skills section portraying all
your skills efficiently in your CV.

your skills in front of the interviewer, you can't sell them. But the
appropriate way to highlight your skills is through giving examples like-- you
