Organize your resume skills into clear, ATS-readable categories.
Explore common domain skills, software tools, and credentials across major role families, select only the ones you can back up with real work, and copy a cleanly grouped skills block into your resume.
1. Browse common skills by role family
Click only the skills and tools you have genuinely used and can explain in an interview. You can also type your own skills below.
Domain & functional skills (Software Engineering & Data)
Software, tools & platforms
Licences & certifications
2. Add your own specific skills, tools & languages
Connect your skills list to real experience bullets
A skills section helps recruiters and applicant tracking systems confirm your toolset quickly, but a keyword list by itself rarely convinces a hiring manager. Pair your core skills with experience or project bullets that name the system you worked on, the action you took, and the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I group skills by category instead of listing one long comma-separated block?
Grouping skills into clear categories—such as Core Skills, Tools & Systems, Certifications, and Languages—helps a hiring manager verify your technical stack in seconds and prevents licences or spoken languages from getting buried inside a 25-item list.
Should I use skill progress bars, dots, or percentage ratings on my resume?
Avoid graphic skill bars and arbitrary percentages (such as “Python: 85%”). Many PDF text extractors either drop visual bars or read their labels out of order, and a percentage has no defined scale to a hiring manager. If you want to show proficiency level, use plain text labels (for example, “German (CEFR B2)” or “Familiar with Kubernetes”).
How many skills should I include on my resume?
Most clear one-to-two page resumes list 10 to 18 relevant hard skills, tools, and credentials grouped into 2 to 4 categories. Every major skill in your skills section should also appear in at least one experience or project bullet so the reader sees how you used it.
