Formatting my resume

When you list relevant courses, do you include an "and" before the last one, for example "Financial Accounting, corporate finance, and Managerial Accounting" or do you just leave it without the "and", like "Financial Accounting, corporate finance, Managerial Accounting"

Do you do the same thing with the "Interests" and "Technical Skills" sections, too? For example for the "Interests" section, "Boxing, Financial Markets, and Sports" or do you leave it without the "and", like "Boxing, Financial Markets, Sports"

Should you not include the "and" because it is a list of items?

I have seen some resumes on here include the "and", and I have seen others not include it. I just wanted to get your opinions on this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best of luck to you all in the recruiting process.

God Bless!

doesn't matter. These are trivial things to worry about - with that said, from the many many resumes I've skimmed through, most don't include the "and".
