Make sure that the verbs in all of your jobs other than your current one are in past tense.
When you’ve finished listing your duties, come down one line and make a heading for “Results”,
“Accomplishments”, or “Achievements.”
You should have at least one or two accomplishments in each job. Accomplishments include
promotions, bonuses, plaques, certificates/letters of commendation, awards, special training, special
projects, etc. Give the month/year for each accomplishment. List your most important
accomplishments first.

Make a sub-heading for each type of training that you plan to include. For example, my sub-
headings are Supervision/Management, Human Resources Management, Analysis/Evaluation
and Project Management, Training and Employee Development, Information Technology, and
“Other.”
Under each sub-heading you create, list the course/training you took. Here’s my sample under
the HR heading:

OPM Training Center, D.C.)
Include the date(s) of the training, the name of the training, the organization that sponsored the
