Get the job by writing a good resume
Like all jobs, writing a good resume and cover letter requires practice to
get it right. Consider including the following headings:
Goals – specify what motivates you as a personal trainer.
Experience – number of clients, years of associated experience or
practice.
Certifications – list them clearly. Include the adult CPR
certification.
Training and Workshops – especially if they are specialist
workshops on the latest training trends.
Education – highest levels attained, special relevant professional
qualifications.
Achievements – were you employee of the month, a sports
winner, completed a triathlon.
Special Skills – know sign language, are bilingual, good with
computers.
Get the order right and lead with your strengths first – what is
different and outstanding about you compared to others. Let honesty
drive your resume.
