FAQ How many skills should you list on a resume?

How many skills should you list on a resume?

You should list 4 to 10 skills on a resume. The number of hard and soft skills you include on your resume depends on the job you want, but 4 to 10 is ideal for most candidates.

Remember that you don’t need to list all your skills in your skills section. You should also highlight relevant skills in your work experience section by providing specific examples of how those skills have helped you excel in previous roles.
