when creating a resume is it ok to use the word "I" when describing your experience?

Question

example: I had to maintain good people skills
I kept machine running at all times

Answer 1

It's not recommended to use first person in a resume. Under experience, you want to have bullets of tasks that were done. In your case, try writing something like "Interacting with customers on a daily basis," "Responsible for maintenance of equipment", etc.

It's already implied that you did these things. There's no need to write "I" in addition.

Answer 2

When I do a resume, I do not use "I". The resume is for yourself, so it would be common sense for the reader. I would just word it different, like:

Good people skills - I would word it as Excellent Customer Service.

Kept the machine running at all times - Maintained machine performance for productivity.

Something along them lines, but I would search the web for ideas on completing a resume. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

well first of all, rule number one in writing a resume is never say you have good people skills, they already expect that of you. and just say kept machine running at all times, they know its you.

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

no, dont put "I"..as everyone else said, put down ur experience and position but in much better words :)
