A couple of months ago I was hitting the pavement searching for a new job. At the beginning of that process I really worked hard to get my resume up-to-date. I’m not going to go into all the things I did/services I used to get it where it is now, but I will say that one of the hardest areas to improve was how I presented my skill set/experience with Adobe Insight.
Am I a “Certified Analyst” or “Certified Architect”? No…But I do know how to use the software fairly well which, from what I have seen, is a skill not too many people have.
With that said, I am using this post as a “working document” as they say. I have listed abilities, skill sets, education requirements for some jobs I have found that deal with Adobe Insight.
I would greatly appreciate if you would please comment below and list any additional skills, abilities, education requirements, etc. that I have missed. As people comment, I will update the list.
As you’ll see, I have broken the list into the following categories:
- Job Overview Examples
- Desired Abilities
- Desired Experience
