What Should I Put On My Resume Instead of “Team Player”?
If simply mentioning you’re a good team player on your resume just doesn't seem convincing enough, try these approaches:
- Include examples of your teamwork skills in your work experience section: mention noteworthy group projects, how you’ve applied your collaborative skills to complete assignments, etc.
- Show how your great interpersonal skills resulted in significant professional achievements and value for the employer: the targets you hit or exceeded as a team, a rise in productivity due to your outstanding leadership skills as a manager, etc.
Remember: when you’re listing strengths on a resume, there has to be proof of how those translated into company success.
