Step 1 of 4
Choose one experience
Pick a class project, campus role, part-time job, volunteer commitment, or personal project that relates to the kind of work you want. Separate what the group did from what you personally owned.
Step 2 of 4
Gather details you can check
List records you can check, such as a final file, schedule, grade rubric, repository, event count, supervisor feedback, or audience size. Use numbers only when you can trace them to a source; a precise description is better than an invented estimate.
Step 3 of 4
Build the bullet
Draft one line using action + task + method + outcome. Keep the outcome proportional to your evidence. If the work was collaborative, name your contribution without taking credit for the whole team.
Step 4 of 4
Check that the bullet is clear and accurate
Read the bullet against your evidence and the target role. Remove jargon, unexplained acronyms, inflated verbs, and confidential details. Ask a classmate, advisor, or supervisor who knows the work whether the line is both clear and true.
