lostandmaybefound Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Basically the title. When writing NAQ descriptions, what do people think is a better format in the eyes of an objective reviewer? In my POV, there's two main ways to write descriptions in the 350 character box: 1. resume-style, point form. "Lead xyz. Helped with abc." 2. formal sentences, paragraph style "I lead xyz. I also helped with abc." The latter will almost certainly reduce the number of characters available to describe every role, but might make the reading 'flow/sound' better. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifeisawesome Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I used more formal sentences (i.e. I volunteered with .... we helped ... etc ...), but go with whatever makes you feel comfortable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garlic Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I used formal sentences as well. Abbreviations were used if they were obvious (e.g. UBC, VGH) and I went to town with ampersands and semicolons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divinecomedy Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Resume style for me; connected by semicolons, like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
