The Experience Section

For each position you’ve held (which probably won’t be many at this point in your career), include a short, 3–5 sentence description of your day-to-day responsibilities.

 

Bullets/Achievements

Create a bulleted list of achievements below each job description paragraph to highlight your accomplishments in each role. This can be tough for new grads – to come up with achievements, think of how you helped your employer or increased your skills/expertise.
