Technical Skills are a quick way for
employers to see if you have the
minimum technical requirements,
as related to biotech
organizations. If employers are
asking for specific skills that you
have, make sure to mention that
skill in detail in your cover letter
as well. For a list see the technical
skills list in Resume Toolkit.

When including a technical
project, include that which is
most relevant to the position
you are applying to and
adapt for each position to
show how the skills you
gained are transferrable.

Teams can be
incredibly important,
especially for those
searching for their
first work term with-
out much other expe-
rience. Ensure that
you convey the work
that you did. While it
is important to speak
about what you did
as a team, employers
are looking to hire
you not your team.
Where possible focus on
transferrable skills that relate

the accomplishments you have had at an organi-
zation, it makes it easier for you to be able to put
quantifiers in your accomplishment statements.
This resume has at least 1 quantifier in each
accomplishment statement
Consider joining a professional association that
relates to your industry of interest. Engineers &
Geoscientist British Columbia is a professional
association that all types of engineers are eligible
to become members of
You can list your academic awards either in the
Education section of your resume, or in a separate
Awards section – based on how much space you
have available
If you have had an executive position in design
teams or student clubs, you could put them in a
section called Leadership Experience
If you have had
multiple roles
in a team or
organization, you
could list them
in order from
most to least
recent with their
associated dates
and accomplish-
ment statements.
For example,
this student
listed their Team
Captain role in
WasteNauts,
with the dates
the student was
in that role and
accomplishment
statements. Then
the same was
done for their
earlier role in
WasteNauts (Pa-
percrete Project
Lead)
This section
should be tailored
to suit the position
requirements
found in the job
posting.
Can specify stream
here if you feel it
adds to the applica-
tion. As this is a bio
job posting, men-
tioning you are in
the biological option
could add value.
Similar for those in
the process option
applying to process
specific jobs.
Either present or past
tense is acceptable
if your work is still
current and you
specify “Month YYYY
- Present” in the job
timeline.
Safety is huge in
industrial and lab
settings. Mention-
ing that you are
safety focused and
having a point like
this to back it up
can really add to an
application.
If a job posting
says something
about safety. It is
highly recommend
reiterating a point
like this in the
cover letter.
90% of the time
there is a more
powerful verb than
‘used.’ In this case,
‘applied’ would be a
better choice.
See the Resume
Toolkit for list of
resume action verbs

Volunteer experience
can be just as valuable
as work experience.
Rather than listing the
positions you have
held, it is good to go
into depth of what
the position entailed
and the skills you
developed.
This example is miss-
ing bullets for work
achievements.
When space restricted, this section can
be cut.
This should be moved into the volunteer
work experience section and elaborated
on. There are lots of soft skills learned in a
position like this that you can expand on.
It is important to keep
your awards relevant
to your degree when
possible. This resume
does a good job of
this.
If your awards are not
relevant, don’t feel
like you need to keep
this section in the
resume.
Non-course projects are pre-
ferred. Consider projects from
involvement with student teams,
self-lead research projects..
If you have not participated in
these then, you can use unique
projects from CHBE 220, the 2nd
year poster competition or oth-
er projects from CHBE courses.

ACTIVITIES AND INTERESTS
• Fitness, CrossFit
• Travel: spent several months travelling solo and living throughout SE Asia, Europe, and Australia.
Next to the project name, indicate if it’s a school/
UBC project or personal project (e.g. Pedestrian
Bridge Design Project, UBC).
Ensure you write the software and tools used in
your work
Your interests and activities show employers who
you are as a person and how you like to spend
your time outside of school and work. In some
cases, it can show your alignment with the posi-
tion and/or company culture.
The technical skills section can also be tailored
to suit the position and requirements identiÞed
on the job posting. For example, focusing on
structural or water modeling may not be relevant
for a transportation application. Refer to the skills
list for more examples of skills that are relevant to
your discipline.
Some items can be
difÞcult to give quan-
tifiers to, especially
without the data.
However, you should
still try to incorporate
any positive results
from your actions!
Estimating quantifiers
(ex. $2 per purchase)
is a viable option,
however, you should
ensure that these are
realistic & accurate.
Alternatively, you can
indicate items such
as improvements
in efficiencies, or
exceeding client ex-
pectations as indirect
quantifiers.
Analytical Skills
are important to
demonstrate as
every position will
require solving
some issue or
challenge. These
skills can be show-
cased in a variety
of ways, including:
practical thinking,
quantitative apti-
tude (modeling,
statistics), structure
problem solving
(optimizing pro-
cesses), or critical
thinking.
Volunteer, Student
Teams, and
Technical project
sections should still
be treated like the
work experience
section.
Add bullets about
your
accomplishments
and keep in mind
that all ex-
periences can add
value! Focus on
emphasizing those
transferrable skills
like communica-
tion, teamwork,
leadership or initia-
tive in non-techni-
cal roles.
Try to incorporate
the technical skills
you’ve summarized
above in bullets
to demonstrate
competency. It’s
one thing to say
you possess a skill,
but another to
show your ability to
utilize them!
Focus on your
contributions
to the projects,
even if they
were performed
in teams. The
employer wants
to hire you and
not your team!
Aim for balance between the bullet points. If you are unable to add relevant
tasks, perhaps consider if this experience should be removed? However,
all experiences have some sort of added value even if they are not directly
related to the position.
For example, in this case, the student can add bullets about: communication
with stakeholders, reviewing regulations and guidelines to meet stringent
water quality requirements, developing innovative solutions, and etc..

Don’t underestimate the value of your non-technical
work experience. By writing strong accomplishment
statements, this student was able to highlight many
competencies such as accountability, customer service
skills, ability to follow procedures and safety guidelines,
ability to accomplish tasks accurately etc.
Your interests and activities show employers
who you are as a person and how you like to
spend your time outside of school and work. In
some cases, it can show your alignment with the
position and/or company culture.
If your preferred name is different
from your legal name, you may
indicate this by placing your
preferred name (eg. English name)
inside the brackets.
Rather than listing
out each task per-
formed at work,
consider including
why that task was
completed or the
result of that task.
For example:
“Performing
assessments and
analysis of water
use data collected
to identify poten-
tial water saving
practices and
measures”
Incorporate some of
the technical skills
that you’ve high-
lighted above in your
tasks to demonstrate
your abilities. It is
one thing to say you
possess a skill, and
another to show how
you can utilize them.
Think of your resume
as valuable real es-
tate. Try to optimize
the limited space that
you have by cutting
down filler words or
by providing specifics
or quantifiers for best
impact.
With projects or
experiences involving
teams, focus on
your contributions
rather than the team.
Remember that the
employer wants to
hire you and not the
team!
Dates should be
listed in a con-
sistent format. If
abbreviating the
month, ensure
that all other
dates are also
abbreviated.
Try to showcase different competencies/skills/perspectives
rather than repeating the same statements in re-phrased
forms.
For example, key competencies that can be showcased
include teamwork, leadership, initiative, or communication
which can each get a bullet point
Be aware of differences between student
teams, clubs, and organizations. Some may
fall under Volunteer Experiences rather than
Student Teams. If they are to remain in one
section, consider renaming the sub-section
to “Extracurricular Activities” or
"Engineering Student Organizations"
Bullet points should be con-
sistent and not have periods
at the end.
The technical skills section can also
be tailored to suit the position and
requirements identified on the job
posting. For example, focusing more on
infrastructure related skills such as water
modelling or wastewater analysis may
be more relevant than sieve or rock &
mineral analysis skills. Refer to the skills
list for more examples of skills that are
relevant to your discipline.
Current expe-
riences should
be written in
present tense.

Try to use a dierent verb for each bullet point
under each experience.
Example of an accomplishment statements using
VERB, TASK, RESULT
If you have a personal project that you have done,
add it to your resume to showcase the experienc-
es and skills you have gained outside of school.
The technical skills section can also be tailored
to suit the position requirements identified in the
job posting

Use the present tense if you are writing about
the responsibilities or experience in your present
project.
Examples of accomplishment statements using
VERB, TASK, RESULT
Instead of just writing the task you are
responsible for, consider writing a skill
you gained or improved and use quan-
tifiers when possible. For example, “Im-
proved organizational skills by eciently
booking over 30 spaces for events and
activities held throughout the year”
Your interests and activities show employers
who you are as a person and how you like to
spend your time outside of school and work. In
some cases, it can show your alignment with the
position and/or company culture.
If your preferred name is different from
your legal name, you may indicate this
by placing your preferred name inside
the brackets.
Analytical skills are im-
portant to demonstrate
as every position will
require solving some is-
sue or challenge. These
skills can be showcased
in a variety of ways,
including: practical
thinking, quantitative
aptitude (modeling,
statistics), structure
problem solving (op-
timizing processes), or
critical thinking.
Incorporate some of
the technical skills that
you’ve highlighted
above in your bullet
s
to demonstrate your
abilities. It is one thing
to say you possess a
skill, and another to
show how you have
utilized them.
Task statements can be
improved by adding
results or actions taken
to reflect key
competencies.
For example:
“Prioritized completion
of projects spanning
from painting, con-
struction repairs, and
building upkeep by
coordinating with stake-
holders and implement-
ing a task classification
strategy to improve
work flow efficiency”
The technical skills section should be
tailored to suit the position and re-
quirements identified on the job post-
ing. For example, including coding/
programming in applications for field
positions that do not require them
may not be relevant. Refer to the skills
list for more examples of skills that are
relevant to your discipline.
Some items can be difficult to
apply
quantifiers to, especially without the data.
However, you should still try to
incorporate any positive results from your
actions! Estimating quantifiers (ex. $2 per
purchase) is a viable option, however, you
should ensure that these are realistic &
accurate.
1
Initiative skills can be shown through innovation,
problem solving, or going beyond the regular
scope. Typical examples that can be used for
initiative include community service, and training/
teaching. These bullet points often also comple-
ment other competencies like communication or
leadership.
Consider how your
non-technical experi-
ences can be relevant
to the technical co-op
position. In this case,
knowledge of safety
standards and ability to
follow procedures are a
key priority across engi-
neering disciplines.
Aim to use
a variety of
strong verbs to
demonstrate your
competencies.
Avoid using the
same verb more
than 3 times in
your resume due
to redundancy.
Refer to verb list
in the Resume
Tool kit or use a
thesaurus.
Focus on your
contributions to the
projects, even if they
were performed in
teams. The employer
wants to hire you
and not your team!
UBC projects are
relevant examples
to demonstrate your
skills/knowledge.
However, keep in
mind that your peers
have completed
the same projects,
along with many
upper years. When
using UBC project
examples, make
sure to include your
contributions & what
made your project
different from others
to help your applica-
tion stand out.
Provide specifics on your tasks. For example:
"Organized data into graphs, tables, and figures to
create a feasibility design report detailing specifications
and justification for a pipeline system, with
recommendations for alternative optimization solutions"

It could be valuable to include your non-engi-
neering work experience in your resume. Listing
these experiences could be a good way to show
your well-roundness in having used non-tech-
nical skills (such as interpersonal relations,
communication and time management) and
indicate that you have been able to balance your
studies and working.
If you are an international student or have had
prior work, volunteer or project experience in an-
other country, make sure to include those in your
resume. Doing this shows the length of time you
have had experience and could indicate that you
have been able to work eectively in multicultur-
al environments
Consider listing the languages you are fluent
and/or knowledgeable in. You can add this infor-
mation in a Skills section.
See the Technical Skills Example list in the
resources section of the Resume Toolkit.
Each discipline has a list of common skills;
peruse and find the discipline that best
matches your skills.
Many managers do not be familiar with
Integrated Engineering. During an inter-
view you should be prepared to describe
your program and choice of Integrated
Engineering, if necessary.
Almost all work
experience is trans-
ferrable to a position
you are applying to.
By dissecting a job
posting you can un-
derstand what they
are looking for and
how your past work
is relatable.
With this swimming
pool example, com-
plying with health
codes, shows that the
person understands
rules and regulations,
and can apply them.
This is transferra-
ble to many areas:
coding, building
codes, government
regulations, etc.
1
Teams can be incredibly important,
especially for those searching for their first
work term without much other experience.
Ensure that you convey the work that you
did. While it is important to speak about
what you did as a team, employers are
looking to hire you not your team.
Volunteer experiences are important, as
they provide transferable soft skills and
provide insights into who you are as a
person.

1
Make accomplishment statements as spe-
cific and measurable as possible. Example
here: What were the details of the design?
What skills or programs did you use? What
was the outcome?
This example is much too generic. It does
not provide the reader details of project
scope, your skills or tools used.
Volunteer experiences are important, as they
demonstrate soft skills and provide insights into
what your personality may be like.
This example did not include accomplishment
statements in bullet form, it is important to
include what your responsibilities are. Give
volunteer and non-technical experiences the same
detail you would for work experience.
This is not mandatory, in fact the vast majority of
students do not have publications. If you do have
publications, they can provide examples of your
communication and critical thinking skills.

Most students do their technical projects at
UBC, but others do technical projects in other
universities or organizations. When listing your
Technical Projects, include the organization that
you did the Technical Project with.
Materials students tend to have a mixture of
computer/programming skills and lab skills. If
you are a Materials student, make sure to list
both types of skills in your resume. Don’t forget
to include any certifications you have.
This student was able to gain valuable leadership
and administrative experience from this position
that would be desirable to employers.
Listing Interests and Activities gives employers
a sense of what you like to do outside of work
and provides more insight into who you are as a
person. Who knows? Maybe the hiring manager
or recruiter looking at your resume could have
the same interests as you.
This student did a good job of listing tasks/
accomplishments from a prior non-engineering
position that could be relevant to a materials
position
In your resume, you can put when you would be

In your resume, you can explain what area of
focus you have in your program if you want to
give employers more context to your interest in
engineering. However, this is not required.
If you have had multiple positions over the years,
you will likely want to separate your experi-
ence into Relevant Experience and Other Work
Experience sections. By doing this, the positions
that are the most relevant to the jobs you are
applying to are more noticeable in the resume
and listed first
Considering the WHAT HOW WHY RESULT
formula, how could this bulletpoint be further
developed?
In your accomplishment statements, you can
describe how you have gotten tasks/accom-
plishments done by mentioning the tools and
software you have used.
When listing your known languages, you can list
what you level of proficiency is in those languag-
es (e.g., Basic, Intermediate, Fluent)
Some positions (especially those relevant to Ma-
terials Engineering) place a significant emphasis
on technical writing. If you have those skills, you
can share that in your Technical Skills section –
just like this student did.
In your Education section, you can list courses
you have taken that are relevant to the positions
you are applying to. Make sure to give the title
of the course, and not the course code. Not all
employers will know the UBC course codes.

This student combined their design team and
research assistant experience in a section called
Engineering Research Experience. This was likely
done to make it noticeable that the student had
research experience. Another option could have
been for the student to put the UBC WasteNauts
positions in a separate section called Design
Team Experience
There are a variety of quantifiers in these accom-
plishment statements – number of people in a
team, how many projects they worked on, and
how much money they raised
When you have had more than 1 position in an
organization, make sure to list the positions in
order of most recent to least recent. Doing this
allows you to show the growth you have had in
an organization
This section
should be tailored
to suit the position
requirements
found in the job
posting.
These certificates are all very basic
and you’ll likely be required to
repeat them when starting a new
job (with the exception of the EDT
course). Over time you should
review and replace with more
specialized skills.
Listing your driver’s license is
important (if you have one).
Remember that past
tense should be
used in this section.
Present or past tense
is acceptable if you
specify “month 20XX
– Present” in the job
timeline
Including the
software used to
complete the task
can reiterate the
skills you mentioned
above. If you used
Excel for all three of
these bullet points,
simply mention it
once.
Safety is huge in
industrial and lab
settings. Mentioning
that you are safety
focused and having a
point like this to back
it up can really add
to an application.
If a job posting says
something about
safety. It is highly
recommended to
reiterate a point like
this in the cover
letter.
It is acceptable to use periods at the end of bullet points or
to leave them out. However, ensure that you are consistent
with all bullet points throughout the document.
Here this is the only bullet point with a period so for this
resume it should be removed.
Visual Basic for Applications
(VBA) is a very useful skill
in industry and the MTRL
department does a good job
in teaching this skill. Don’t
underestimate the usefulness of
skills with free software such as
R, Python, and Excel.
As this is specific to
UBC, consider expand-
ing the acronym as it
is unlikely an industry
professional will know
what this is.

With design team
experience it is
important to describe
your contributions to
the team and project
rather than the
purpose of the team.
Effective writing in
this section relates
your work to the
achievement of the
team goals.
Many students do not appreciate the activities and interests section
and often remove it. Note, this section is an easy way to connect
with the employer on a more personal level and, during an interview,
they often ask questions about what is listed here. Employers
sometimes use this section to gauge your fit within the company.
For example, if you are applying to a rural job in the mountains,
expressing your interest in hiking or skiing shows that you may be a
good fit for the area, whereas describing your passions for joining an
opera may not. It is important that these are honest interests &
activities.
This section is good if you have an affiliation re-
latable to the posting.
When space restricted, this section can be cut.
Non-course based projects are
preferred. Consider projects
from involvement with a
student team or self-lead
research projects. If you have
not participated in these then,
do use unique projects from
MTRL courses.

In the Technical Projects section, you can list
projects you have done at UBC/UBCO, in your
design team or in other organizations
If you have volunteer experience, you can put it in
your resume. Many employers like to see appli-
cants that have given back to their communities
through volunteering.
If your preferred name is different
from your legal name, you may
indicate this by placing your
preferred name inside the
brackets.

Analytical skills
are important to
demonstrate as
every position will
require solving
some issue or chal-
lenge. These skills
can be showcased
in a variety of ways,
including: practical
thinking, quantita-
tive aptitude (mod-
eling, statistics),
structure problem
solving (optimiz-
ing processes), or
critical thinking.
The technical skills
section can also be tai-
lored to suit the posi-
tion and requirements
identi
fied on the job
posting. For example,
including modelling
(eg. MATLAB) in
applications for field
positions that do not
require them may not
be relevant or listing
languages (e.g French)
when the employer is
not requesting second
languages.
Refer to the skills list
in the Resume Tool kit
for more examples of
skills that are relevant
to your discipline.
Consider what your
are choosing to
include in your
resume. If you can’t
say much about a
specific project or
job you’ve had,
consider if it is
something you want
on your resume.
Keep in mind that
all your experiences
can be relevant,
even if they are
non-technical! Focus
on highlighting
transferrable skills.
2
Try to add quantifiers in your
statements where possible to
provide a scale for the reader.
Easy bullets to incorporate
quantifiers are design projects,
involving optimization/iterative
designs. Consider how you
evaluated your designs and how
improvements were measured as
potential quantifiers.
Incorporate some of the technical
skills that you’ve highlighted
above
in your bullets to demonstrate your
abilities. It is one thing to say you
possess a skill and another to show
how you have used them!
UBC projects are
relevant examples
to demonstrate your
skills/knowledge.
However, keep in mind
that your peers have
completed the same
projects, along with
many upper years
ahead of you.
When using UBC
project examples,
make sure to include
your contributions &
what made your
project dif-ferent from
others to help your
application stand out.
It’s good to show
ability to work in
a team. Also, re-
member to focus on
your contributions
to the projects. The
employer wants to
hire you and not
your team!

You can list technical projects that you have done
in your courses, research positions, design teams
and with organizations you have worked in
Make sure to list courses that are the most
relevant to the position you are applying to.
Refrain from only listing introductory courses.
Instead make it a priority to list electives or upper
year courses that more specifically relate to the
type of mining work you would be doing in the
position you applying to.
Putting your skills into categories makes it easier
for employers to quickly see what types of skills
you have. Mining students usually develop
laboratory, computer, geotechnical and/or mining
related field skills

Make sure to list any professional associations
you are a part of. Consider joining a professional
association that is related to the mining industry
– such as Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallur-
gy and Petroleum
Depending on how much space you have and
how you want to format your resume, you can
list your Awards in your Education section or in
an Awards section towards the bottom of your
resume.
Listing interests that indicate that you would be
able to adapt well to a mining field environment
(such as activities related to the outdoors and
mining) is something that mining employers
notice.

Summaries are sometimes used
and are common in Resumes in
the United States. If you choose to
include a summary, ensure that it
is very speciÞc to the job you are
applying to. You can think of it as
a mini cover letter.

This section can be
tailored to suit the
position require-
ments found in
the job posting.
This resume could
use more skills see
the Technical Skills
Examples Sheet in
the Resume Toolkit
for a list of common
skills.
Remember that safety is huge
in mine settings. Mentioning
that you are safety focused and
having a bullet point in your work
experience to back it up can really
add to an application.
If a job posting says some-
thing about safety. It is highly
recommended reiterating your
safety-first attitude in the cover
letter.

Nonacademic
projects are preferred.
Consider projects
from involvement
with student teams,
self-lead research
projects, mine rescue
or mining games. If
you have not partic-
ipated in these then,
you can use unique
projects from MINE
courses
If you have an
affiliation relating
to the posting or
if you do not have
quite enough
information to fill

When space
restricted, this

Many students do not appreciate the activities
and interests’ section and often remove it. This
section is an easy way to connect with the em-
ployer on a more personal level and they often
ask questions about what is listed here in an
interview. Employers sometimes use this section
to gauge your fit within the company.
For example, if you are applying to a rural job in
the mountains, expressing your interest in hiking
or skiing shows that you may be a good Þt for
the area, whereas describing your passions for
joining an opera may not. It is important that
these are honest interests & activities.
