Hey everyone,

With some summer 2025 applications opening this month, I wanted to get some opinions/advice on how to best structure experience sections on the CV.

Top format is what I went with originally, putting everything I think might be a useful talking point with the recruiter and focusing on stating skills/methods I'm competent with within the bullets.

Bottom focuses on the format a lot of business schools recommend with action verb --> what you did --> result.

Goal was to make these less clustered, but it seems it's the same either way.

Let me know your thoughts!
