<p>Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could put down the skills I've learned in my physics lab class on my resume such as oscilloscopes, soldering, etc even if I only have a single session of experience on it?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The most common two sections on every resume are “education” and “work experience”. Many resumes also have a third section of “Additional Skills” / “Additional Skills and Experience”. </p>
<p>You could list those tech skills in the “Additional Skills” section. But you should only do that if you’re confident that you’re actually comfortable putting those skills to use on day one of a new job.</p>
<p>Thanks cobra392!</p>
<p>When I had to do a job application for NASA I liked how they actually had me rate my skills on everything I’ve done from a scale from 1-5. It let me really highlight the things I was intimately familiar with and note those which I had a passing, but not fully functional knowledge. For example, I’m comfortable putting Excel onto my resume as something I’m pretty good with, but I’m not a whiz with pivot tables, macros, and some of the other power user features. Similarly with SEM. I can operate one and do a pretty good job focusing/analyzing data, but I’m far from an expert.</p>
