The Elements of an Effective Resume 15
Professional Memberships
Another potential element in your resume is a section listing professional
memberships. Use this section to describe your involvement in profes-
sional associations, unions, and similar organizations. It is to your advan-
tage to list any professional memberships that pertain to the job you are
seeking. Many employers see your membership as representative of your
desire to stay up-to-date and connected in your field. Include the dates of
your involvement and whether you took part in any special activities or
held any offices within the organization. Use the following worksheet to
organize your information.
