Resume Components Guidelines

Leadership Experience

• List the title of the position you held.
• Reference the name of the organization and the location, including city and state.
• Indicate the period of time you held the position.
• Describe your experience. Use past tense action oriented words like "achieved" instead of passive words like "was responsible for." (See Action Verbs list).
• Try to show not only what you did but also how well you did it. You can accomplish this by citing accomplishments, supervision, responsibilities, etc.
