Organize service history for the reader

Choose a clear layout for public roles, other employment, education and relevant work. A short summary can explain the connection between your background and the opportunity.

Use exact titles instead of labels that imply an office you did not hold.
Show concurrent roles and terms with consistent dates.
Select relevant achievements rather than adding an entire public biography.
