Let’s Review a Few Examples Dad had a long, fulfilling life, and he wouldn’t want us to be sad for him now that he’s gone.
There’s nothing wrong with this sentence, especially if it’s dialogue, but we could eliminate sad:
Dad had a long, fulfilling life, and he wouldn’t want us to mourn for him now that he’s gone.
Whenever an adjective appears with ( am, are, is, was, were, will be, etc.), the narrative suffers. In this case, I swapped to be sad with the more active to mourn.
Justine shut the front door. Her parents knew from her sad look that she had lost the election.
Knew filters the action through the senses of Justine’s parents. Let’s try a different approach:
With a sad expression, Jordan picked up the smashed cell phone.
Nothing in the preceding sentence shows the degree of Jordan’s emotion.
A smashed cell phone might evoke a mild response if it has been backed up recently or doesn’t contain any important data. However, let’s assume the phone holds irreplaceable photos of a loved one who has passed away; that would cause a strong reaction:
Chin trembling, Jordan picked up the smashed cell phone. He wept.
Is there any doubt now about the depth of Jordan’s sadness?
Maria’s sad eyes made Charlie feel compassionate.
Feel is a filter word. We can edit this sentence to create a short but effective alternative:
Maria’s anguished eyes filled Charlie with compassion.
Same number of words, stronger adjective, more active sentence.
Amy was sad, so Mommy dried her tears.
Why is Amy sad? If we show the situation that caused the tears, we don’t need sad:
The space under the Christmas tree was empty. Santa’s milk and cookies still lay on the mantel, uneaten. Amy cried, and Mommy dried her tears.
A few extra words convey pathos that could be the basis for several paragraphs or an entire chapter.
Roger was sad because the bank wouldn’t lend him any money.
This sentence is pure tell.
Roger hung up the phone and slouched into his chair. “What should I do now? The bank won’t approve my loan.”
In the edited version, the power of dialogue combined with Roger’s slouch show his sadness.
Replace Hackneyed Phrases
Here are a few:
Sad as it might be: tragically
Sad fate: tragic demise
Sad sack: failure, dud
Sad state of affairs: upsetting situation
Sad to say: regrettably, unfortunately

Remove all instances of sad from the following.
Jessie’s heart thumped like a drum in her chest. She felt sad, devastated. Three years. Three years she had devoted to Steve. And for what? How could he have done this to her?
Suggested solution
Jessie’s chin trembled. Three years. Thirty-six months. One hundred fifty-six weeks. She had laughed at Steve’s inane jokes, picked up his stinky socks, and listened to him snore all night. And for what? How could he have left her for another woman?
Rather than tell how Jessie feels, we show her trembling chin, and we provide a specific reason for her emotion. We also show some of her three-year devotion. Breaking the years into months and then into weeks emphasizes the passage of time.
Travis was sad. Cardboard boxes full of memories lay on the bedroom carpet. Family photos. Benny’s christening gown. Benny’s baseball mitt. Travis’s sad eyes rested on the saddest memory of all: Benny’s baby book. Benny. Gone forever.
Suggested solution
Travis slouched into the bedroom. Cardboard boxes brimming with memories blanketed the carpet: family photos, Benny’s christening gown, Benny’s baseball mitt. He rubbed his swollen eyes and stared, heartsick, at his son’s baby book. He sobbed. Benny. Gone forever.
Travis’s slouching shows his sadness. Brimming is a more appropriate choice than full of. Slight punctuation changes strengthen readability. Travis’s sad eyes are shown by their swollen condition, and his sob reinforces his sadness.
George could tell that Janet was sad, but he didn’t know how to comfort her. Women scared him, especially independent women who refused to let him buy them dinner. Sadness engulfed him. How could he ever let her know his true feelings?
Suggested solution
George squirmed in his seat. Janet’s damp eyes filled him with unease. Women scared him, especially independent women who refused to let him pay for their dinner. “Is ev-everything o-okay?” He bit his lip. Can’t even talk straight. How can I ever let her know my true feelings?
George’s squirming emphasizes his unease, and his internal monologue shows the sadness that engulfs him. Janet’s damp eyes show her emotion.
It was sad when the old lady coughed. I think her name was Margaret. Or maybe Minnie? Minnie. Yeah. Every time I heard her hork her lungs out, I felt sad. She worked hard – harder than any of the guys – in this dungeon of a Thipakrisian mine. I often wondered as I tossed and turned in my bed at night if we’d ever get back to Earth. The sad fact is that if we didn’t, I’d end up just like her in a few years. That saddened me most of all.
Suggested solution
Whenever the old lady coughed, my gut clenched. I think her name was Margaret. Or maybe Minnie? Minnie. Yeah. Every time she horked her lungs out, I wanted to cry. She worked hard-harder than any of the guys-in this dungeon of a Thipakrisian mine. I often wondered as I lay awake at night, staring at nothing, if we’d ever get back to Earth. Then, the scratching in my throat would remind me that if we didn’t escape, I’d end up just like her in a few years. Frandelstax!
The narrator’s clenched gut shows his sadness. Ditto for his desire to cry, emphasized further by his lying awake at night, staring at nothing. Frandelstax – nothing like an invented sci-fi expletive to augment the ambience.
Feedback
What makes you sad? Rejection slips? A broken coffeemaker? Looming deadlines?

100+ Skills For Your Resume
Not sure what skills to put on a resume, or even where to put them?
We have answers, plus many resume skills examples for you to explore.
But first, here’s a list of good hard and soft skills to put on a resume:
We also dive into specific job skills. If you’re in one of the following industries, check out its corresponding page:
Ready to make a skills-powered resume that lands you more interviews?
Read on to learn the primary resume skills for job hunters, and how to list them in your application.
Best Skills to List on a Resume
Even if you already have a list of good skills to put on your resume, you can’t simply include all of them. You must be strategic, and each ability you list should reinforce the fact that you’re a great fit for the job.
Plus, there are two main types of job skills for a resume that hiring managers evaluate when looking at your application. It’s important to target both if you want to come off as a well-balanced candidate.
Known as hard and soft skills, these abilities combine to create the best employees. Employers know this. If your goal is to be the top applicant for any given position, you need to touch upon both of these areas in your resume.
Hard Resume Skills (Examples List + Definition)
Hard skills are job-specific or technical skills that must be learned through education and/or training. Hiring managers look for these on every application, because they prove that an applicant can actually handle the work at their company.
For instance, if you apply for a Chinese-English interpreting job, you must be fluent in both languages – otherwise you would simply not qualify for the position. These “hard” resume language skills are required to do the job. If you’re to have any hope of landing this gig, you must mention language skills on your resume, and include any language-related certifications as well.
Common hard skills on resumes include fluency in a foreign language, Office 365, and words typed per minute (WPM). There are thousands of other examples, but to make things easier, we’ve honed them down to a list of 20 hard skills that employers are seeking in 2021:
Foreign Languages
Social Media
Teaching
Design
Project Management
Computer Technology
Accounting & Finance
Business & Data Analysis
Nursing
Economics
Automotive Services, Parts and Design
SEO/SEM Marketing
Cloud and Distributed Computing
Data Presentation
Database Management and Software
Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Copywriting
Statistical Analysis and Data Mining
Perl/Python/Ruby
User Interface Design
An impressive toolkit of hard job skills will definitely help you in your quest to find fulfilling work. However, these alone aren’t quite enough to show that you’re the best candidate for a particular position. For that, you need soft skills.
Soft Resume Skills (Examples List + Definition)
Soft skills are innate abilities. They’re closely tied to your personality, as well as the way you handle various situations that arise in a work environment – everything from actual work to dealing with colleagues.
Your list of soft skills helps show hiring managers what type of employee they’re getting when they hire you. And since almost every job requires a mixture of hard and soft skills to perform at the highest level, employers want to make sure you have this mixture before they make you an offer.
How you leverage your hard and soft resume skills will likely determine your success on the job hunt.
Some of the major soft skills to add to a resume that will attract hiring managers include the following 20 examples:
Still not entirely sure about the difference between hard and soft skills? This chart breaks each down into their three main characteristics:

How to List Skills on a Resume
Here are four strategies for effectively spreading your resume skills and abilities throughout your application, so you can make a good first impression on hiring managers.
1. Identify Professional Skills Common in Your Industry
Before you dive too far into building your resume, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with key abilities associated with the job you want. While you may already know many of them, it’s unlikely you have them all neatly organized in your head.
The best way to identify these important job skills (soft and hard ones) is to analyze job openings in your target industry. Take this “Senior Digital Marketing Manager” job ad, for instance. For your convenience, we’ve highlighted soft skills in green and hard skills with blue.
2. Solidify Your Skills Section
There are two primary types of resume skills sections, and your skill set plus industry will determine which type is most suitable for you.
Additional Skills
For most job seekers, including “Additional Skills” on a resume is standard practice. However, many people don’t capitalize on this prime resume real-estate, and end up misusing it.
The best skills to include on a resume are those that are related to the job.
It’s okay if this section is strictly hard skills, but including a key soft skill or two can also be an effective way to strengthen your case.
Some good skills for your resume include:
Hard Skills Examples Soft Skills Examples
Technical Skills
While these additional skills for your resume provide support to your application, they are of secondary importance when compared to your relevant work experience. If you have a wide range of technical skills, however, your abilities may end up being precisely what gets you hired.
If you think this is the case for you individually, try featuring your skills and abilities more prominently on your resume.
Check out the following example to get an idea of how this might look for you:
He also breaks them down into core areas, which helps organize what would be an extensive resume skills list into easy-to-digest chunks for the hiring manager.
Some industries where a technical skills section may work better than an additional skills one are:
Regardless of the various ways you fit skills on a resume, a “technical” or “additional” skills section can help solidify yourself as a viable candidate. Once you’ve determined the most suitable type, you’ll be ready to start inserting these abilities into the rest of your resume and application.
3. Include Skills in Your Work Experience
One of the best ways to showcase your skills on a resume is by crafting an achievement-oriented professional experience section. This allows you to not only show that you possess certain job skills, but also helps prove you’ve used them to produce results for previous employers.
Simply follow these three steps and you’ll be able to reinforce your experience section with abilities that help you attract recruiters and impress hiring managers.
Step 1: Make a List of All Your Relevant Skills
Once you’ve created your list, go through and circle all the skills you’ve touched upon while working at previous jobs or even as a student. These should be your focus.
Step 2: Create Achievement-Oriented Bullet Points
Once you have your list, the next step is to convert those basic skills into bullet points that show you can produce results. The easiest way to do this is by using the Problem, Action, Result (PAR) method.
Action: Then, show how you used a skill to address the “Problem”
Result: Finally, highlight the positive result of your “Action”
Check out how a project manager used this method to emphasize their communication skills:
Problem: Ensuring all departments understand every aspect of a project
Action: Communicating with departments
Result: Smooth completion of project
Then, they took this information and turned it into an achievement-oriented bullet point:
In a single bullet point, this project manager illustrates how their communication skills helped produce actual results at a company. If you can make bullets like this, it will go a long way toward proving your value and highlighting skills in your resume.
Step 3: Quantify your Abilities
Quantifying your skills and abilities on your resume – particularly in the experience section – will make you come off as a stronger candidate. Adding numbers, percentages, and other bits of concrete data make bullet points weightier, and give hiring managers a clearer picture of what you bring to the table.
Take a look at some experience bullet examples where quantification is used effectively:
SEO/SEM Marketing:
Increased conversion rates by 10% on a client’s web-based service offering through SEO/SEM campaigns
Data Analysis:
Conducted data regression analysis of the relationship between company stock prices and industry trends, achieving a 15% more accurate prediction of performance than previous years
Leadership & Management:
Hired, trained, and coached 50+ staff members on customer service skills, food and beverage knowledge, and health and safety standards in preparation for the restaurant’s July 2015 grand opening
Conflict Resolution:
Implementing a three-step conflict resolution protocol for children displaying unruly behavior, resulting in a 15% decrease in conflicts
For more relevant examples of quantification in action, take a look at a resume example from your industry.
4. Place One (or Several) in Your Resume Introduction
There are certain skills to put in resume introductions that can help job seekers quickly convey their competence to hiring managers. What those special skills are depends on your industry and background – do some research (job boards, LinkedIn) to see what’s in demand, and then think about how those demands align with your abilities.
Once you’ve landed on your top industry-specific hard and soft resume skills, be ready to fit them into your introduction.
Whether you decide to go with the classic resume objective or something more flashy like a resume summary, every type of introduction provides space for you to mention your best resume skills and abilities.
In a resume objective, for instance, you have three sentences to convey not just your experience and work aspirations, but your job skills as well.
And in a qualifications summary or professional profile, at least one bullet should mention key skills and abilities you bring to the table.
Additionally, consider adding a list of core competencies on your resume to quickly communicate your most relevant skills.
Conclusion
The best skills for your resume are abilities that truthfully put you, as a job seeker, in the best possible light. This guide was written to help you identify those good, marketable hard and soft job skills, as well as teach you how to include skills to create the most effective resume possible.
If you’re able to leverage your top abilities throughout your job application (including the content of your powerful cover letter), you’ll simply attract more interviews in the long run. We hope that our resume skills examples, lists, and how-to guide have helped (and will continue to help) you in this endeavor.
