SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

 

EDUCATION, TRAINING & CERTIFICATIONS (Samples)

NOTE: IF you have not taken ANY supervisory/leadership/management courses or training, YOU SHOULD! Mere POST courses that are merely for "Continuing Professional Training" points, are generally NOT geared toward the role you are going for. There are POST courses on leadership and supervision, so you may want to consider attending those as well as Community Colleges, State Universities, Extended Studies courses, and even On-Line courses. If you haven’t gone to school in a while, just remember that promotions are VERY COMPETITIVE!! )

Note: for POST or other professional development, we recommend that you don’t list all the technical courses you’ve ever had, but rather those that are more relevant to the job at hand. This is particularly true if you are going for a supervisory/leadership position, and not a technical position. However, there are certainly POST or related courses that would relate to the position you are going for, so that would be relevant to demonstrate your familiarity or unique skill sets if the job calls for that. For example, if going for a Investigative leadership position, courses taken as a detective would be valuable. However, supervisory, and management skills typically outweigh technical skills in most leadership positions.
