Another approach that can work well is to group experiences thematically, being sure to make a clear connection between the themes highlighted and the job requirements. The following are some possible organizational themes to consider.

  • Education-based paragraph that highlights experiences from academia and beyond.

  • Example: Throughout undergrad you developed a knowledge of a wide range of climate mitigation strategies, which were further specialized in your Masters through climate mitigation policy projects.

  • Project-based paragraph that focuses on a specific project and the competencies you demonstrated in successfully completing that project.

  • Example: A project you participated in demonstrated how you were able to identify stakeholder needs and delegate tasks to group members to meet those needs and accomplish your project

  • Values-based paragraph that highlights what actions or competencies you’ve used throughout your career to work towards your career values/goals.

  • Example: You include a paragraph detailing your career-long commitment to sustainability, including volunteer and community involvement to what you are interested in researching and why.
