Overview to update skills and expertise page

The skills and expertise page allows you to showcase your knowledge in a creative manner. When you reach the page in PowerPoint, ten placeholders are ready to update. There are no requirements to update any of them. However, we suggest you create at least two skillsets.

People love looking at skills and expertise. Probably, more than education and experience. In our opinion, this is an extremely essential page to gaining the interview. Thus, make sure you use it to the fullest.

So, each skillset is a PowerPoint chart. We know some people are not well-versed in updating PowerPoint charts. Therefore, we provide steps you show you how to update a skillset. Within each chart, simply enter the skill title and the ranking.

After that, update the one-line note, which is separate from the chart. We will discuss the one-line part later.

  1. Open the chart
  2. Enter a skill title
  3. Provide a ranking
  4. Update the one-line note

Update the one-line note

Although the skills note displays one-line, it can show multiple lines. Or, even bullets. It is pretty flexible. We just thought it would look neater with one line of text. Remember, the one-line note is simply a textbox. Therefore, all you have to do is, click on it and start typing.

Below is the final update to our software development skill category.
