I haven't needed to create a CV for anything, so I've uploaded the closest thing I have to it with all my relevant experience. This formatting was required by my employer to submit to CalTrans for monitoring work.

It's still easy to read :)

  1. Keep abbreviations consistent throughout (ex. DWR vs Dept of Water Resources)
  2. write out what ICF, EDBPS, and MWD is
  3. Include months with your dates
  4. Formatting things: bullet point the paragraphs, include contact info, change to first person, no need to have both professional & ICF start date listed twice, write out Bachelors of Science
  5. Include education section
  6. I still think Project Experience is a good title to keep, but Research Experience also works- more of a personal preference
  7. Key Skills section would be great for an intro section (incorporate the "area of expertise" as well)
  8. Include other relevant research-related work from UCD
  9. Personal note: leave out verbs like "helped," say you actually inspected, monitored, etc.
  10. Another personal note: Name drop professors if applicable
  11. Don't need to include that you served as a team member BUT absolutely highlight when you served as a lead on a project
  12. Highlight your role in the project maybe by saying "contributed to project," "collected x samples for project," etc.
