Where to add skill subheadings
Variations on a Theme

This format will encourage the employer to identify you by your job titles and skills, even though your work history is from a different industry.

Looking for a way to save space on your resume
Try formatting your bullet-point statements into paragraphs (so that one statement follows another in each paragraph with bullet points separating the statements, as demonstrated in Gireesh's resume) with a skill subheading to introduce each paragraph. This format gives your resume a polished, concise look and draws the reader's attention to your strengths.
