Resume Elements that Can Provide the Edge You Need

There are several resume elements that can provide an edge in the area of massage. These include:

1. Provide an added level of depth to your objective. Instead of stating simply that the objective is to obtain a position as a massage therapist an alternative could be:

"To obtain a position as a massage therapist in order to share the physical, mental and emotional benefits of massage."

2. Include a short synopsis of why you entered the field (this can be helpful if you need to fill out your resume. Salient points may include:

- Belief in the healing power of touch especially in the context of the difficulties we face in health care and how the power of touch is nearly a lost art in health care

-Provide an important service to people that can truly improve their quality of life

3. If you are relatively new to the field of massage but are well versed or have interest in other healing arts such as acupuncture this may be worth mentioning at the end of the resume.
