When first asked, most undergraduate majors have difficulty listing concrete skills other than language or computers.
But after reviewing specialty courses (statistics), and other course related to the major (archaeology field methods) most students realize they have many skills to offer. The following list was gathered from 亚色影库 student résumés. To begin constructing your list of skills, think about some of the following: understanding of multiculturalism, cultural patterns and problems, writing, statistical (qualitative and quantitative) analysis, nutrition, health care delivery, etc. It is important that your list does not oversell you or list skills you don't really have. Still, many students underestimate their abilities. Also, remember not to abbreviate job skills on your résumé as some employers will not recognize that particular skill. The skills below might not be congruent with yours but are meant as a stimulus for items that you might want to include:
