In short
Anything you do here that lands on your Record can go on a résumé, in the right section and in the right words. The Record gives you a line to start from and a link or code a reader can use to check it. This guide is about what to do with them: which heading to put each thing under, how to write the line, and what to keep off the page. The longer version, item by item, is the full guide to listing things.
Take the line from your Record
Each item on your Record offers a short line in three lengths. Start from the one that fits your space. You can change the verbs. Leave the numbers alone: if one is wrong, ask for the record to be corrected rather than rewriting the line, because the page behind the link will still say what it says.
Lead with what you made. Put the title of the paper, the name of the project or the count of tables first, and let the description follow.
Which section it goes under
| What you did | Where it goes | What a reader sees behind the link |
|---|---|---|
| A paper published in Tillyard Research | Publications, marked "student publication", or Writing | Who read it and who approved it, with the date |
| Tables or workshops you hosted | Leadership and activities | Counts and dates |
| A project finished with other members | Projects | The people who worked on it and their parts |
| An officer role in a student organization | Leadership and activities, under that organization's own name | Whether an officer of the organization confirmed it |
| Service for a charity or a public body | Service | Who confirmed it, and in what role |
| A piece from a pursuit | Projects, or the section its subject fits | Who confirmed the piece |
| Something you entered yourself | Wherever it honestly belongs | The word "Self-reported". The page says nobody checked it |
If your résumé has no section with the right heading, add one. "Publications," "Projects," "Leadership and Activities" and "Service" are understood by people and by the software employers use. Two short sections can share a heading, such as "Projects and Publications."
List it under Publications, Projects, Leadership and activities or Service. It is not employment, so it does not go under Work Experience.
Keep the check beside the claim
A reader who wants to confirm a line can open its link, type its code into the check page, or scan its QR code. Put the code or the short address in text at the end of the line, because résumés are often printed and a link behind a title is often lost. A QR code is a picture: software and people skimming on paper do not read it, so it is never a substitute for the text.
Before you send a résumé:
- Check that each item you list is set to "Anyone with the link" or "On my public page." An item set to "Only me" will show a reader that it is no longer listed.
- Open each one as a visitor. Read the page as a stranger would, and make sure your line says the same thing.
- Check the numbers again. If a count has changed, change the line.
What not to write
- Do not put Tillyard in the employer box of an application form. Where a form insists on an employer for every entry, use its activities or additional-information section.
- Do not call a paper a journal article, and do not borrow words from scholarly journals for how it was read. Say who read it and who approved it, in the words on its page.
- Do not list it under Education, or under a heading for licenses, courses or awards. Nothing here is a school, a course or an award.
- Do not describe what you did as a role someone gave you. You chose it, you set the hours, and nobody directed it.
- Do not ask the editor or the owner for a reference. They did not supervise your work.
On LinkedIn
Each item on your Record has a part headed "Add it to LinkedIn" with the section to use and text for each box, ready to copy. In general: papers go under Publications, projects under Projects, hosting and officer roles under Organizations, and service for an outside organization under Volunteer experience, with that outside organization named and never Tillyard. Nothing here belongs in LinkedIn's Experience section, because it would show you as working for a company you do not work for. LinkedIn is a separate company with its own terms; Tillyard does not connect to your profile.
Talking about it
In an interview, say exactly what the page says. If the page says a paper was read by three students at other colleges and approved by the editor of a student publication, that is your sentence. If the interviewer opens the link, what they read should match what you said. The Workbench has a story builder and a practice timer for rehearsing it aloud. Neither scores you, and nothing from them goes on your Record.
