What a Christian Should Include in their Resume

Some Christians wonder whether or not to include their faith in their resume.

Certainly job experience and other job related skills obtained from your church should be included on your resume, but there are other, more important and subtle ways your faith should be included in your resume. Unless you are seeking a ministry related job or other job in the church, a direct declaration of your faith on your resume is not always the best idea. Instead include our faith in your resume in other ways that are sure to illustrate your Christian faith.

One way your Christian faith should show on your resume is through your honesty. Honesty is an important part of the Christian faith and is also an important part of a resume. Let your faith show in your resume through your honesty by not embellishing your resume with untrue or misleading statements. Only include skills and abilities you possess on your resume. More and more companies use background checks and your honesty will pay off in the long run.

Another way your faith can be included in your resume is through your references. If you are true to your Christian faith your references will have good things to day about you and how much you value your community and working as a team. Your references should not say you that you didn’t try your best, gossiped or engaged in any other negative activity at your last job. Your references are a great way to show your Christian faith on your resume.

The achievements on your resume will also tell employers about your Christian faith. If your heart was not in your job, your faith will not shine through on your resume. If your heart was not in your community and your other involvements, it will not shine through on your resume. Be sure to include achievements that you can be proud of on your resume as they will demonstrate your Christian faith in how hard you worked to achieve your goals..

Writing a resume is not easy, and writing one that reflects your Christian faith is even harder. Be sure that everything in your resume supports the fact that you are a Christian through your honesty, integrity, achievements, and references. This is the best way to let your faith be known to your potential employer without directly stating it on your resume. By practicing your faith everywhere, your resume will reflect your spiritual devotion.
