You might have all the know-how in the field of agriculture, but it will be worthless if you cannot translate those achievements and accomplishments into words that can propel you to secure a job position. It is important that you can translate your knowledge and present it well on paper so that you will get hired. Here are some tips you can consider when writing your resume.

 

Make an impactful summary. Yes, it will be easy to drone on and tell chapters upon chapters, especially since you are an expert in the field. But you cannot expect a hiring manager to read a manuscript of all your achievements. A short but impactful summary that makes use of choice words is more appealing and would make the reader easily understand the details of the posts you have previously held.

Highlight any innovations you introduced to improve a system. Since the field of agricultural engineering requires continuous innovations and improvement, you may have had the opportunity to employ some new way of performing certain tasks that have positively affected your production and sales. It is important to include these if there are so that your employer will know that you are proactive and creative and that you are able to think of different ways to make tasks easier and better.

Include research conducted or papers published with a brief summary of its content. If you have authored papers or have done research on agricultural topics, be sure to add those to your list of achievements. Just make a short description of the study and your participation in its completion. This is particularly important because it will allow the prospective employer to see how you apply engineering principles in order to address agricultural issues. It will also inform them of the extent of your expertise and will thereby allow them to gauge if you are a perfect fit for the position.
