List all relevant work, internship, practicum, research and/or student teaching experience
Use reverse chronological order
- Begin with your most recent experiences first
Include the following for each experience
- The title of your position
- The name of the organization
- The location (city, state)
- The dates of your employment, internship, research or experience
Use action verbs to describe what you did
- Begin each bullet with an action verb, which will produce a strong impact on the reader
- Do not use “responsible for” or “duties included”
- Use the active rather than the passive voice
