What to include in your own version
- Use education, projects, volunteering, or part-time work when they provide relevant evidence.
- Explain your role in a group project so the reader can distinguish your contribution.
- Keep the summary specific to the opportunity rather than filling space with generic adjectives.
Original bullet
