Hi, this is Christopher Berrien for About.com, and today we're going to talk about how to write a CV qualifications section.
Why Include a Qualifications Section
CVs in the United States tend to be aimed at academic and other professional positions, and it is important that you be extensive and complete. Besides listing your thorough employment and educational history, you may wish to list your qualifications. The qualifications section matches up with a skills section on a resume, listing things that are useful to a particular position. It also supplements an employment history section, by listing things you may have learned outside of a formal work environment.
