Great for designers, marketers, and creatives. — pairs that with a layout built to get noticed by both recruiters and ATS software.

Research Assistant Resume — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I list a research assistant role if I haven't published yet?

Detail your contribution to the research process instead: datasets managed, participants recruited, protocols run, and any conference posters or internal reports — publication is not the only proof of research competence.

Should I include coursework projects as research experience?

Yes, if they involved a genuine methodology (surveys, experiments, statistical analysis), list them under a "Research Experience" section with the supervising faculty member named.
