Talking about the modern work environment, it is so competitive & demanding that you need to smartly & confidently sell your skills. Here are a few tips to get this formula right-


·        Emphasize on creating a Skill-Based Resume

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.

·        Record Tangible Examples of Your Accomplishments
Keeping in record your praised work via emails or feedback from clients can help you present tangible examples of your skills and great work. Such records are also valuable when it comes to annual review or applying for a new job or promotion etc.
