# Resume: leadership & awards We suggest to have these as separate sections or merge them into one. Awards * Make sure it's clear how important your awards are. * Make sure the competition scope is clear: city-level, country-level, regional, or global. * Clarify how many people or teams participated in the competition. * If your award is not internationally well-known then readers will likely assume the award is not international and very small. Make sure to clarify the importance. See [Ridiculous Resume Rule](/guides/resume-and-linkedin-guide/ridiculous-resume-rule.md). * Make sure your international competitions are clearly visible. You can separate local and international awards into 2 different sections. * Many competitions give 1st and 2nd place to many people and “2nd place” can be understood as a prize given to tens of people. If you are the only person who got 2nd place say “absolute 2nd place”. * Rewrite “First”, "Second", etc as “1st”, "2nd" etc so that it’s easier to see what awards were more impressive. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
