Resume and Interview Tips

Trainer Resume
By:Jeffrey L. Jones

A corporate trainer helps develop and lead training programs for companies. These programs include new employee, product, customer service, technology or any other training programs. Some large companies have their own in-house trainers, while other companies outsource this responsibility. In either case, knowing how to write a trainer resume will improve your chances of landing a great job.

Do your research. Learn all you can about the position and company with the opening. As you accumulate information, begin to consider how your experience and skills as a trainer will help this company achieve its overall goals. Your research will give you the ability to type a resume tailored to this organization and position.

Assess your achievements. Review your experience and write down the accomplishments you have achieved throughout your career. As you make your list, always keep in mind how these achievements will help this company achieve its goals. Include topics like training programs, policies and procedures you have developed, new training techniques you have introduced, and enhancements you have made to existing training programs.

Format your resume. The format you choose should highlight your skills and abilities. If you have moved up in terms of position and responsibility throughout your career, list your experience in a chronological order. If your career includes gaps in time to raise kids, work in another field or for health reasons, group your experience by skills that demonstrate your abilities as a training professional.

Start with the basics. To demonstrate professionalism, use either white or ivory paper for your resume. At the top, type your name and other contact information, making sure you can be reached during the day at the e-mail and phone number you list. Next, write a job objective that explains how your skills and experience in the training field will help this company achieve its goals.

List your experience. After the objective, add your experience, organized either chronologically or in skill categories as described above. Use the list of accomplishments you developed in step 1. Your experience should demonstrate knowledge of the concepts and procedures of a training professional.

Finalize your resume. Next, add your education. List the highest degree first with the name of the school, city, state, and your degree or certification. Only include your grade point average if it is a 3.0 or higher. Finish with a professional development section that has any continuing education, professional membership and related honors and recognition.

Tip: Use strong, active verbs. Avoiding phrases like "responsibilities included" or "duties included" makes sure your resume reflects your accomplishments and not just responsibilities.
