Hey fellas,

Decided to update my CV (resume) and I need some help. Does the following job description (as what I did at this job) sound good and professional?

From June 2005 through December 2005, conducted large scale quantitative survey data analysis of the program "Conditional Cash Transfer to Reduce Poverty in Turkey", and presented results that reflect the socio-economic reality of the governmental policies. Researched the social dimension of land based transportation systems on a global scale between January 2005-present.

Thanks, the 2nd sentence however still gives me the green line under it on Word... the "consider revising the fragment" line... is Word accurate on these?

it's giving you a green line because it IS a fragment. There's no subject in the sentence. You might want to add an "I", but I don't know anything about resumes, so maybe you're better off without one?

Technically, it is a fragment (there's no stated subject,) but resumes don't need complete sentences, but rather bulleted lists of fragments. the subject is understood to be "you."



edit: The newt beat me to it.

In the future, don't use word's grammar check. It's terrible unless you're writing very basic things. I've had teachers repeatedly tell me never to use it (I'm an English major). 🙂

Good luck with your interview.
