How to write it

  1. Education goes near the top with expected graduation date and GPA if it is 3.0 or higher.
  2. Clubs, sports, volunteering and babysitting all count as experience; give them bullets.
  3. State your availability (after school, weekends, summer).

Example bullet points

  • Help run the summer reading programme for 150+ children
  • Shelve and check in 300 books a shift and assist patrons at the desk
  • Trusted to open the children's area alone on Saturdays
  • Care for 3 regular families, including two children under 5
  • Manage schedules, meals and homework help

In the builder, the "Sharpen these bullets" button rewrites your own lines in this style without inventing facts.
