company name, position, geographic location, and
dates of employment for all work experience Use
active versus passive language Correct Created
a direct-mail marketing campaign Incorrect
Responsible for all direct marketing Consider
including relevant organizational
and/or volunteer activities If you dont have a
lot of work experience, you should present
