I need help before I punch my computer.

I have no idea what to put under Qualifications Summary vs Job Summary responsibilities vs Skills. I am trying to use a combination resume. https://resumegenius.com/resume-formats/combination-resume-samples

For instance, I wrote this list I was going to put under my Qualifications Summary.

-Designed training plan to teach new employees on use for specialized machinery and company regulations
-Directed employees in order to achieve production goals while maintaining product quality
-Utilized software to create marketing material for distribution to customers and website displays
-Collaborate with other departments to assist them in meeting company deadlines

But those are all things I did in my most recent job. So...should they go under my job responsibilities? In that case, what should I put under qualifications summary and skills?

Is my Qualifications Summary like an opening paragraph for a paper? So each bullet point is a generalized thing I am good at which is then backed up in my job responsibility 'paragraphs'?

For qualifications summary, I always put things like, in my case:

*Has over five years of accounting experience in payables, receivables, and financial reporting
*Can use Excel at an advanced level
*Has experience with Quickbooks, PeachTree, and Microsoft Dynamics

And then the job summary is what I actually did with those things, ie.

*closed financial books each month
*created operating and capital budgets
etc. etc.

Definitely try to keep everything as succinct as possible and, if you can, on one page. I am that hard ass who, when handed a stack of resumes, tosses anything that's over two pages into the trash as a matter of course. I know I'm not alone, because no one wants to sit there and read a novel.

Yeah, I am trying to keep it all on one page. I'll see if I can get this mess worked out! Thanks for the advice.

Don’t agonize over the supposed differences between those three categories.

Look at your resume.

Is it one to two pages only?
Can your prospective employer tell where you used to work?
What your job entailed at said work?
What skills you used to get said work done? Any awards or recognition for exceptional work?
Any degrees or certifications that you have that are necessary for the job you want?

Don’t get hung up over bullet points vs paragraphs. Just concentrate on being easy to read.

My original was one page but it 'lacked direction'. So I am trying to work on that. I just don't how detailed to be in the Qualifications Summary vs Job Description. :( I think I am overthinking it.

is there a resource center near you? I know not everywhere has this but my state has a nonprofit agency that works with the department of labor...they offer workshops and resume reviews for free

I am looking but don't see one. I might be able to go to where my sister lives. She lives in a much larger city.

You might try looking at the website for your state's unemployment department.

I may not know what I'm talking about, but I tend to think of a "Skills" or "Additional Skills" category as skills you want people to know about that may not be obvious from your work history and qualifications. For example, from my job description, it's not clear I know how to use Access and have basic skills with GIS software, but I'd want to make that known. If I spoke another language, I'd put that there, too. That kind of thing.
