How to emphasize that you are a fast learner: Include it in your CV

Your CV is often the first thing that employers read to help them decide if you'd be a good fit for the role. Consider emphasizing being a quick learner in the following sections of the document: 

  • Skills section: You can simply put the phrase "ability to learn quickly" as one of the bullet points.
  • Education: Instead of just listing your degree accomplishments, consider including the education you're actively pursuing that's relevant to your career. Things like leadership training, project management courses or even online classes can show you're a lifelong learner.
  • Work experience: For example, showing that your former employer decided to promote you to a more advanced role after just a few months in a new job shows that you can quickly learn and adapt to new work environments.
