You can list the designation, but you do not need to make it the centerpiece of the resume. In most cases, a credentials or education section is enough.
The qualification can support your expertise and discipline, but consulting recruiters still need to understand your actual impact and transferable skills. Putting several designations after your name can make the document feel credential-heavy without adding much context.
A CPA applying from finance can list the credential clearly in the education or certifications section, then use the experience bullets to show how that expertise translated into business decisions and results.
Keep the top of the resume clean. Include the designation in a clear credentials section and let your experience demonstrate why the qualification matters for the role.
