Count internships, research, and projects as experience Internships, co-ops, research, and teaching-assistant roles count as experience.

A typical resume lists 3 roles, and 20% have a projects section. ### 4. Put a number in your bullet points Start each bullet with what you did and finish with the result.

Name specific skills and tools List the languages, frameworks, and tools you have actually used. Group them by type and use the terminology from the job description.
