Experience bullet examples for a internship
- Run weekly labs for 40 first-year students in Python and grade assignments
- Hold office hours that helped raise the lab’s average assignment score by 8%
Each bullet starts with an action verb and ends with a result. That is what separates an achievement from a job description.
