IN THIS EPISODE

There are two parts of the application that focus on the experience you have gained thus far in your dietetics journey. The first is your resume, of course, and the second is the section calls “Awards, Experience, and Volunteer Activities.” In both of these areas, you want to make sure you prove that the experience you document really deserves to be there. Let’s talk about how you can do that.

Here are some of the topics covered in this episode:

1.    How to make it clear why a position is on your application in the first place

2.  Which word to avoid because it usually does say what you want it to

3.   Elements to add to pack a punch in your descriptions

YOUR ACTION STEP

Begin thinking about your experience, even if you haven’t set up your DICAS account or will be typing it directly into your application just yet. Jot down the experience you have at this point, both paid and volunteer. Take the time you have to make sure you’ve thought through everything your role did or does entail, and how you can describe it so it’s clear, highlights your skills that will transfer to dietetics, and uses those key words that state exactly what you did, avoiding the word “assist” and using quantifiers wherever you can.

With this Insider insight, your application is sure to stand out!
