Its easy enough to use a job title
but its much stronger to put
forward your personal brand with
a colorful description of your
work.

IN YOUR CASE: Yes, I know you are

but a student YET.

But what youve achieved in you

academic and extra curricular
performance should count!
Pat OBrien, author of Making College Count explains it well.

Every job is a REAL job. If you were delivering papers, you were
developing behavioral traits (like delivering on time), attitudes
(like being concerned that your customers and the newspaper
were both happy), and skills (like managing your route and still
getting to school on time). In your school work you displayed
behavioral traits, attitudes towards learning, and skills. And what
qualifies you for your next job is some combination of guess
what? behavioral traits, attitudes and skill!

Habitat for Humanity house in Detroit. The individual
did it on his own, talking to friends, neighbors, family
organizing people just because it was a worthwhile
thing to do. We saw that as leadership ability not
formally sanctioned by a job title, but evident in life
experiences.
