Experience
Your Experience section lists your current and past positions:
EXPERIENCE
Job Title YEAR to Present
Name of Employer, City of Employer, State of Employer
Brief Description of Job Duties/Accomplishments
Additional formatting tips:
Positions should be listed in reverse chronological order (most recent job first).
Provide brief but detailed descriptions of your job responsibilities, using action verbs to describe skills and accomplishments.
Tip: If your experience spans multiple fields or you would like to emphasize certain positions over others, you can subdivide this section into 2-3 separate sections. Here are a few section titles to consider:
Professional Experience
Teaching Experience
Consulting Experience
Clinical Experience
Management/Leadership Experience
Other Experience
Important note for doctoral students:
If you are applying for a higher ed position and have previous teaching experience, consider adding a Teaching Experience section. Courses you taught can be included in this section or listed in a separate Courses Taught section.
