How to list this on a résumé ============================ Tillyard. Version 1.2. In effect from October 21, 2026. Fingerprint of this text (SHA-256): 7dff9ce52c84bfa5d099cd46f76e0503700882c9e039d0b171b12443eba50753 This version: https://tillyard.org/policies/how-to-list-this-on-a-resume/v/1.2 You did something here and you want to put it on your résumé. This guide says which section it belongs in, gives you a line that is true, lists the words that would make it untrue, and tells you what to say when an interviewer asks about it. The short version is one sentence: say what your record page says, in a section that is not about employment, with the link beside it. - Everything you do here goes under Publications, Projects, Leadership and activities, Service or Skills. None of it goes under Experience or Employment, and ordinary membership does not go under Internships. You were not our employee or contractor, and your record page says so in those words. A member accepted into a term of the separate Tillyard Internship program has a Record line the program director confirmed. That line may go under Internships, and nothing else here may. - It does not go under Education or under Licenses and certifications either. We are not a school and we award no evidence of skill. - Use the line your item page gives you. You can use fewer words than the page. You cannot use bigger ones. - Say exactly who checked it, in the page's words: "read by three students at other colleges and approved by the editor", "confirmed by an officer of the organization". If you do not have room for that, leave checking out. Never write "verified", "certified" or "peer-reviewed" about your work. The one place the site uses "verified" is the badge about your college email address, where it means only that a code sent to the mailbox was typed back. - Keep the link or the ten-character code beside the claim, and make sure the item is shared before you send the résumé. An item set to "Only me" shows a reader "no longer listed". - On LinkedIn, copy the fields from your item page into Publications, Projects, Organizations or Volunteer experience. Never add Tillyard under Experience: LinkedIn would then show you as working for us. - Things you added yourself are self-reported. List them as your own claims, without our name and without a link to us. - In an interview, describe what you did, then who checked it, in the same words as the page. If asked whether it was an internship, the answer is no. The only exception is a term of the Tillyard Internship program. - If an item is withdrawn, take it off your résumé and your profiles no later than 7 days afterwards. The page says "withdrawn" to anyone who follows the link. - Experience with a real employer counts for more with most recruiters than anything here. Put it first when you have it. If this summary and the full text below ever differ, the full text governs. Section 1.3 says which documents govern this guide. 1. About this guide =================== 1.1 Who is speaking ------------------- Tillyard is an Ohio nonprofit corporation. In this guide we, us and our mean Tillyard, and the site means the website at tillyard.org. 1.2 Who this is for ------------------- Members who have something on The Record and want to use it. Career advisers, professors and friends who are helping a member with a résumé. A recruiter who wants to know what our members are told can read it too; For employers: how to read a record is written for them. 1.3 What kind of page this is ----------------------------- This is a guide. It adds no rules. The rules it repeats are in The Record and Verification Policy (section 16, "What members agree to"), the Trademark and Brand Use Policy (section 7, "Describing your Record truthfully") and the Terms of Use. If this guide and one of those differ, that document governs. The examples here show the shape of a line. The exact line for your own item is on that item's page on The Record, and where the two differ, use the one on your item page. 1.4 Words we use ---------------- This guide adds no rules of its own. Section 37.5 of the Terms of Use says how our documents fit together, and where this guide differs from the document it explains, that document governs. Words that have one meaning in every one of our documents, such as member, visitor, staff, the editor, record item, hold, case and tip, are defined in Definitions. The words below are added for this document's own subject, or repeated from Definitions for convenience. If a repeated meaning ever differs, Definitions governs the meaning of the word. - The Record is your set of items. An item is one thing you did. A record page is the public page for one item, at an address beginning tillyard.org/r/. - Items come in three kinds. Approved: the editor approved it or signed it. Recorded: our logs show it, or the people named on the page confirmed it. Self-reported: you told us and nobody checked. The Record and Verification Policy sets these out in full. - The line is the sentence you put on a résumé for an item. The check is the link or code that lets a reader open the record page. - A code is the ten-character code that comes with an approved or recorded item, shown as two groups of five, for example 7K4MQ-2XPDZ. - How we know is the sentence on a record page that says who or what is the source of the record. - The editor is the member of our staff who decides whether a paper is published in Tillyard Research and who approves or signs titles. At present that is the owner of the company. 1.5 What this guide cannot do ----------------------------- It cannot tell you what a particular employer wants, and it is not career advice for your situation. Résumé conventions differ by field and by country. Your college's career office knows the conventions in yours. It also cannot make a line carry more weight than a reader chooses to give it. We are a new, small company. A record from a new place is worth what a reader thinks of it after opening the link. Recruiters weigh experience with a real employer most, and nothing here stands in for that. What you get from us is something real to point to and a page where a reader can see who confirmed it. We do not promise an interview, an offer, an admission or anything else. 2. Five rules that cover almost everything ========================================== 2.1 Say what the page says -------------------------- Your record page states what you did, when, and who confirmed it. A reader who follows the link should find the same thing they read on your résumé. You may shorten the page's wording. You may not enlarge it. "Read by three students at other colleges" does not become "peer-reviewed". "Hosted 9 study tables" does not become "taught a course". 2.2 Keep it out of Experience ----------------------------- Nothing from Tillyard belongs under Experience, Work experience, Employment, Professional experience or Internships. You chose what to do and when. Nobody here assigned it, supervised it or paid for it. Every record page for an approved or recorded item carries a sentence that says you were not an employee, intern or contractor of Tillyard. A résumé that files the item under Experience is contradicted by the page it links to. It does not go under Education, because we are not a school. It does not go under Licenses, Certifications, Training or Courses, because we do not teach, test or award evidence of skill. 2.3 Name who checked, or leave checking out ------------------------------------------- Each kind of item was confirmed by someone specific: the editor, students at other colleges, your teammates, an officer of your organization, a contact at an outside organization, or our own attendance log. If your line mentions checking, name that source in the page's words. If you have no room, leave it out and let the link do the work. Do not write a general word in its place. "Verified", "certified", "accredited", "audited", "independently reviewed" and "peer-reviewed" all claim more than happened. 2.4 Keep the check beside the claim ----------------------------------- A line that mentions us should let the reader check it. Put the record link at the end of the line, or the words "Check: tillyard.org/verify" with the code. A claim nobody can check is worth less, and it is the check that makes a record different from a sentence you wrote about yourself. 2.5 Keep the résumé in step with the record ------------------------------------------- Records change. A count can go up during a term. An item can be withdrawn. You can decide to stop sharing one. Before you send a résumé, open each item the way a visitor would and make sure the page says what your line says. Section 12 goes through what to do when something changes. 3. Which section each thing goes in =================================== 3.1 The sections we use ----------------------- The Record sorts items under five headings, in the order a résumé usually takes them: Publications, Leadership and activities, Projects, Service and Skills. They are the same five as in "In short" and in the one-page summary in section 14. Each item page tells you which one applies. The short form of the rule, printed on the site, names the first four: "List it under Publications, Projects, Leadership and activities or Service. It is not employment, so it does not go under Work Experience." "Service" in that sentence means unpaid work for an outside charity or public body (section 3.4). Nothing from here goes under Honors or Awards, because we award nothing. The sections we use. Columns: résumé section, what goes there, the matching part of a LinkedIn profile. Résumé section | What goes there | The matching part of a LinkedIn profile -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Publications (marked "student publication"), or Writing | A paper published in Tillyard Research, with a Readers' Selection note under it if there is one. An op-ed or creative piece an outside editor published | Publications Leadership and activities | Tables you hosted. The Table Host title. A table series, a circle or a short talk you led. Peer help tables. An officer role in a student organization. The count of papers you read for others, if you choose to list it | Organizations Projects | A team project from a booth. Most portfolio pieces. A round entry, finalist or not. A dated log. An open resource you published | Projects Service, or Volunteering | Unpaid work for a charity or a public body. Contributions to a public open project | Volunteer experience. The organization is the outside organization, never Tillyard Skills | A skill you used in a recorded item. It is your own claim; we do not test skills | Skills 3.2 Sections where nothing from here goes ----------------------------------------- Sections where nothing from here goes. Columns: section, why not. Section | Why not ----------------- Experience, Work experience, Employment, Professional experience | You were not employed by us, and your record page says so Internships | Titles such as Published Author and Session host are not internships. Only a term of the Tillyard Internship program is, and its Record line says so Education | We are not a school. We give no credit, degree or diploma Licenses, Certifications, Training, Courses | We do not teach, test or award evidence of skill. A series of tables is not a course References | We do not give references, and nobody here supervised you Affiliations or Memberships, where the heading means professional bodies | We are a company with a website, not a professional association or an honor society 3.3 If your résumé has no such section -------------------------------------- Add one. A heading is a few words, and the common ones are understood by people and by the software some employers use to read résumés: "Publications", "Projects", "Leadership and Activities", "Service". An unusual heading may not be recognized. Two short sections can share a heading, such as "Projects and Publications". If you have a single item, it can sit in a section with other things of the same sort. A paper can share "Publications" with a campus magazine piece. A team project can share "Projects" with a class project. 3.4 "Volunteer experience" as a heading --------------------------------------- Many templates, and LinkedIn, call the service section "Volunteer experience". For unpaid work you did for a charity or a public body, that heading is accurate: you volunteered for that organization, and it is the organization you name. It is a different section from Experience, and using it does not break rule 2.2. It is never accurate for anything you did for us. Hosting, reading and writing here are your own activities, not work you did for us, and they go under Leadership and activities, Projects or Publications. 3.5 Order and space ------------------- This part is advice and not a rule. - If you are a current student, Education usually comes first. - Paid work and real internships usually come next, and they deserve the most room. - Choose the two or three items from here that say the most about you. A résumé that lists every table and every piece reads as padding. - Lead each line with what you made or did. The title of the paper comes before the name of the publication. The name of the project comes before our name. 4. Item by item =============== Each entry below gives the kind of item, the section, a line you can use, the words to avoid, a way to say it aloud, and the LinkedIn fields. The people, papers and organizations in the examples are invented. Your item page offers the line in three lengths: a short one, a full line, and the full line with the check on the end. The examples follow that pattern. Brackets mark the parts that come from your own record. 4.1 A paper published in Tillyard Research ----------------------------------------- Kind. Approved. The title is Published Author. Section. Publications, marked as a student publication. "Writing" also works. Lines you can use. - Short: Author, "Cold-Chain Losses in Ohio Food Banks," Tillyard Research (student publication), 2027 - Full: Author, "Cold-Chain Losses in Ohio Food Banks," Tillyard Research (student publication), 2027. Read by three students at other colleges and approved by the editor. - With the check: the full line, followed by "Check: tillyard.org/verify, code 7K4MQ-2XPDZ" or the record link. Lead with the paper. "Published Author" is the name of the item on your Record. On a résumé the title of the paper does more work than the title of the item. Variations. - Fewer than two readings. The page then says "Approved by the editor" and nothing about readers. Your line ends the same way. Do not add readers who did not read it. - Two readings. The page says "Read by two students at other colleges and approved by the editor". Use the number on your page. - A revised paper. The page adds that the readers read the first version and the editor approved the revision. If you quote the checking sentence, keep that part. Do not say readers read the final text. - More than one author. Say "Co-author" and keep the order of names as the paper prints it. Do not describe a shared paper as yours alone. - Written for a class or a lab. The paper's own page says how it came about, as you declared it when you submitted. You can say "written for [course name]" if that is true. Do not suggest that your college or your instructor approved its publication or had any part in it. - AI help. The paper's page shows what you declared. You do not need to repeat it on a résumé. Do not write that the paper was "checked for AI" or "plagiarism-checked". We make no such finding. Never write. "Peer-reviewed publication". "Refereed". "Journal article". "Research Intern", "Research Fellow", "Research Assistant", "Staff Writer", "Contributing Analyst" or any other title that reads as a role with us. "Author at Tillyard", because "at" reads as an employer. "Indexed in" or any citation measure the paper's page does not show. "Accepted from [number] submissions" or an acceptance rate, unless the site publishes one. In an interview. "I wrote a paper on cold-chain losses in Ohio food banks for Tillyard Research, which is a student publication run by Tillyard, a small nonprofit. Three students at other colleges read it against a published rubric, and the editor approved it. It was my own project. Nobody assigned the topic." On LinkedIn. Publications. A paper published in Tillyard Research. Columns: linkedIn box, what to paste. LinkedIn box | What to paste ---------------------------- Title | The title of the paper Publisher | Tillyard Research (student publication) Publication date | The date on the paper's page Publication URL | The record link, or the link to the paper itself Description | The "how we know" sentence from your page, for example "Read by three students at other colleges and approved by the editor." 4.2 Readers' Selection ---------------------- Kind. Approved. Worked out from readers' scores for a term and confirmed by the editor. Section. Publications, on the line under the paper it refers to. Not Honors or Awards: it is a note about how readers scored a paper, and we award nothing. Lines you can use. - Short: Readers' Selection, Tillyard Research, Spring 2027 - Full: Readers' Selection, Tillyard Research, Spring 2027. One of the 3 papers picked from the 23 read by students that term, confirmed by the editor. - With the check: the full line and the code or link. If the paper is already on your résumé under Publications, you can fold this into that entry in place of a separate line: "… (student publication), 2027. Readers' Selection, Spring 2027." Never write. "Best paper award". "Prize" or "prize winner": there is no prize. "Ranked first" or any rank: the page gives a count, not a position. "Top 13%" or any percentage you worked out yourself, because a percentage suggests a ranking of everyone by experts. "Selected by a panel" or "by faculty". "Honor society". Use the two numbers the page gives. In an interview. "Each term the publication lists a few papers picked by a published rule from its readers' scores. Mine was one of three out of twenty-three that term. The readers are students, not faculty, and there's no prize." On LinkedIn. Publications, in the description of the paper. Not Honors & awards. Readers' Selection. Columns: linkedIn box, what to paste. LinkedIn box | What to paste ---------------------------- Title | Readers' Selection, [term] Issuer | Tillyard Research Issue date | The month on your page Description | "One of the [number] papers picked from the [number] read by students that term, confirmed by the editor. No prize." 4.3 Tables you hosted, and the Table Host title ----------------------------------------------- There are two different items here, and they are different kinds. - A term of hosting is a recorded item. Our attendance log counted the tables and the people. Nobody judged how they went. - Table Host is a title, and so an approved item. You asked for it, and the editor looked at the counted tables for one term and signed it. It is dated to that term. It carries no duties and no authority. Section. Leadership and activities, for both. Lines you can use. - Hosting, short: Hosted 9 study tables, Tillyard, Autumn 2026 - Hosting, full: Hosted 9 study tables (112 attendees), Tillyard, Autumn 2026. Counted from the site's own attendance logs. - Title, short: Table Host, Tillyard, Autumn 2026 - Title, full: Table Host, Tillyard, Autumn 2026: hosted 9 study tables (112 attendees), counted from the attendance log and signed by the editor. Use one line for one term. If you hold the title for a term, the title line already carries the numbers, so do not list the hosting record for the same term as a second entry. Use the label your page uses for people. If the page counts attendances, write "attendees" or "attendances" with that number. Write "students" or "different people" only with a number the page gives for different people. Never write. "Instructor", "teaching assistant", "tutor for Tillyard", "taught a course", "ran a class". "Community manager", "moderator", "ambassador", "campus representative", "chapter lead", "staff", "team member". "Selected as" or "appointed": you asked, and the editor signed a count. "Managed" or "supervised" the people at your table: a host has no authority over anyone. Any number of hours. In an interview. "I hosted nine study tables there last autumn. A table is a scheduled hour on a subject with a few seats, all in text. The site's log counted who came. It's something I chose to do, a bit like running a study group; it isn't a role with the company." If you hold the title: "Table Host is the site's name for a term of hosting that met its published numbers. The editor signed it from the attendance log." On LinkedIn. Organizations. Tables you hosted, and the Table Host title. Columns: linkedIn box, what to paste. LinkedIn box | What to paste ---------------------------- Organization | Tillyard Position held | Hosted study tables, or Table Host if you hold the title for that term Start and end dates | The term's first and last month Description | The full line, with the record link as text Do not put hosting under Volunteer experience. That section says you volunteered for the organization named, and you did not volunteer for us. 4.4 A table series, a circle or a short talk -------------------------------------------- These are recorded items, counted from the attendance log: a three-part table series on one subject, a reading circle or journal circle you started and led, worked-problem tables, or a five-minute talk given at a scheduled table with written questions. Section. Leadership and activities. A talk can sit under Presentations if your résumé has that heading. Lines you can use. - Led a three-part table series on Excel pivot tables for 9 students from 5 colleges, hosted on Tillyard, January 2027 - Founded and led a reading circle on health economics, hosted on Tillyard, Autumn 2026: 4 sessions, 6 students from 4 colleges - "Why hospital alarms get ignored," five-minute talk with written questions, 11 students from 7 colleges, Tillyard, November 2026 "Hosted on Tillyard" is the honest preposition. The circle was yours. The site was where it met. Never write. "Course", "class", "curriculum", "program", "workshop series for Tillyard". "Instructor" or "lecturer". "Students completed" or "graduated": nobody completes anything here. "Certified" anyone in anything. Any claim about what the people who came learned or how they scored; no scores are kept. In an interview. "I ran three linked sessions on pivot tables for a small group of students from other colleges. I published the outline first. It was peer to peer. There's no course or credit involved." On LinkedIn. Organizations, as in 4.3, with what you led as the position ("Led a three-part table series") and the full line as the description. A talk can also go under Projects. 4.5 Papers you read for other members ------------------------------------- Kind. Recorded. A count from our logs. This item starts out visible only to you, and you decide whether to share it. Section. Leadership and activities, if you list it at all. Line you can use. Read 6 student papers for Tillyard Research, 2026 to 2027 Never write. "Peer reviewer". "Referee". "Reviewer for a journal". "Editor", "associate editor", "editorial board", "editorial assistant". "Review staff". Any claim that your readings decided what was published: the editor decides every paper. Any number of hours. In an interview. "I chose to read six papers by students at other colleges and scored each against the publication's rubric with written comments. The reading is blind and it's optional. The editor makes the decision." On LinkedIn. Organizations, with "Read student papers" as the position. Many members leave this one off LinkedIn. Reading is always your choice. Nothing on your Record, your standing or anyone's view of your own paper depends on how much you read, and a bigger number earns nothing. The Reader Guidelines say more. 4.6 A round ----------- Kind. Recorded. Other entrants scored your entry against criteria published before anyone entered. We added up the scores and judged nothing. Rounds are free to enter and have no prize. Section. Projects, for a finalist as for any other entry. Not Honors or Awards: a round has no prize and awards nothing. Lines you can use. - Finalist: Finalist, The Memo Round, Tillyard, Spring 2027: one of 3 among 14 entries, scored blind by other entrants against published criteria (memo on school-bus driver shortages) - Entry: Decision memo on bus-route cuts using public ridership data; one of 22 entries scored by other entrants, Tillyard, Autumn 2026 Say what the entry was. The subject is the interesting part, and a reader can check it. Never write. "Winner", "first place", "champion", "award", "prize". "Judged by experts", "by a panel", "by faculty" or "by industry professionals". "Case competition sponsored by" anyone: prompts are written by us, never for a business. A score or a rank. If your page carries a label such as "Student exercise. Not advice to anyone.", do not describe the entry as advice or analysis done for a real company or person. In an interview. "It was a ten-day round. Everyone wrote a memo on the same case and then scored three other entries blind. Mine was one of three finalists out of fourteen. The scoring was by the other entrants, not by a judge." On LinkedIn. Projects, with the line "scored by other entrants" in the description. Not Honors & awards. 4.7 A portfolio piece that two students opened ---------------------------------------------- Kind. Recorded. Students at other colleges, who chose to look, opened your piece and typed what they found. We did not check it ourselves. Section. The one your item page names. For most pieces that is Projects. Lines you can use. - Dorm Energy Estimator (own project): a Python tool that estimates room electricity cost from public utility rates; 3 acceptance tests written before the build and run in a hosted demo by two students at other colleges - Analysed 2019 to 2024 public data on transfer rates at Ohio public universities; headline figure re-derived from the source by two students at other colleges - "Cleaning survey data in R: a worked example," tutorial on my own site; followed start to finish by two students at other colleges who reached the stated result The line says what the two students did, because that is what the page says. "Opened it", "ran the tests", "re-derived the figure", "followed it and reached the result" are different things. Use the one that happened. Copy the page's words about who they were, too. If your page says "two students" and not "two students at other colleges", the students who looked may have been at your own college, and your line must not add "at other colleges". Some pieces carry a fixed label, such as "unsolicited concept, not commissioned or endorsed" for a design made around a real organization, or "practice exercise" for a set brief. Keep the label in your line. Never write. "Verified by Tillyard". "Tested", "audited" or "validated" with no subject. "Certified in", "completed a course in", "trained in". A level, a grade or a score. "Client" or "commissioned by", unless someone really commissioned it, in which case it is not this kind of piece. In an interview. "It's my own project. I wrote three acceptance tests before I built it, and two students at other colleges ran them in a hosted demo and recorded what happened. Nobody at the company reviewed the code." On LinkedIn. Projects: the project name, the dates, and a description that ends with the record link as text. 4.8 A piece that rests on something an outside party did -------------------------------------------------------- Kind. Recorded. The thing itself happened somewhere else: a project's maintainers merged your contribution, an outlet's editor published your op-ed, an event listed your poster, an outside editor or jury accepted your work, an agency posted your comment. A student at another college opened the public record and typed what they found. Section. Where the thing itself belongs: Publications for an op-ed or accepted writing, Projects for a merged contribution or a filed comment, Presentations or Leadership and activities for a poster or talk. Lines you can use. - "Ohio's nursing shortage starts in the classroom," op-ed, The Lakeshore Courier, February 2027 - Open-source contribution to a Python data library: fixed a date-parsing bug in its CSV reader; merged by the project's maintainers, October 2026 - Poster, "Road Salt and Stream Chloride in Franklin County," Midstate Undergraduate Research Forum, March 2027 These lines do not mention us, and they do not need to. The achievement is yours and the deciding was done by the outside party. Our page is useful as a check: it records the permanent reference and what a student found there. Put the record link at the end if you want a reader to be able to see that. Never write. Anything that suggests we published, merged, accepted or judged the work. Anything that suggests the outside party has a connection with us; it has none. "Partnered with", "on behalf of" or "representing" the outlet, the project or the institution. If your page marks a contribution as minor, do not describe it as more. In an interview. Talk about the work and the outside party's decision. If the record comes up: "The site keeps a page with the commit reference, so anyone can see the merge." On LinkedIn. Publications, Projects or Honors & awards, whichever fits the thing. The publisher, the project or the event is the outside one. 4.9 A dated log --------------- Kind. Recorded, in a narrow sense. The site stamped each entry with the day it was written and stopped it being changed after 24 hours. What the entries say is your own account. This item starts out visible only to you. Section. Projects, or leave it off. Lines you can use. - Kept a forecasting notebook for 12 weeks: 34 dated forecasts on 12 public questions, each locked when written, 9 resolved from public sources - Kept a dated Spanish practice log over 8 weeks: 38 entries on 31 days Never write. "Verified practice hours". "Accuracy verified", "calibration score" or any result as though we measured it: we date entries and check nothing in them. "Proficient", "fluent", "intermediate" or any level, on the strength of a log. In an interview. "I kept a dated log. The site timestamps each entry and locks it after a day, so the dates are real. The content is my own record." On LinkedIn. Projects, if anywhere. 4.10 A team project from a booth -------------------------------- Kind. Recorded. Each person on the team said what they did, and the others confirmed it separately. We recorded when the team sat down to work together. We did not check the work. Section. Projects. Lines you can use. - Short: Campus Food-Waste Tracker: built with 3 students from 2 colleges - Full: Campus Food-Waste Tracker (student project, September to November 2026): built with 3 students from 2 colleges over 9 logged sessions; did the data analysis and the write-up. Parts confirmed by 3 collaborators. Say what the team did and then what you did. Your part is the line your teammates confirmed, so keep to it. Never write. A part that is not on your page, or a bigger share than the page gives you. "Led" or "managed" the team unless that is the part your teammates confirmed. "Startup", "company", "president" or "co-founder" on the strength of a booth project alone. "Client project" or "commissioned by". "Verified by Tillyard". Your teammates' names, unless they have agreed to be on your résumé. If a line on the page is marked "disputed", do not use that line until it is settled. In an interview. "Four of us from two colleges built it over a term. We built a tracker for dining-hall food waste. I did the data analysis and wrote it up. Each of us confirmed the others' parts on the site, and the project belongs to the four of us." On LinkedIn. Projects: project name, dates, and a description that ends with the record link as text. LinkedIn lets you add other people to a project. Add a teammate only if they agree. 4.11 An officer role in a student organization ---------------------------------------------- Kind. Recorded. Another officer of the same organization confirmed your role and dates. We did not check it ourselves, and neither did your college. Section. Leadership and activities, under the organization's own name. Lines you can use. - Short: Treasurer, Undergraduate Finance Society, 2026 to 2027 - Full: Treasurer, Undergraduate Finance Society (Ohio State University), September 2026 to May 2027. Confirmed by two officers of the organization. This is your organization's line. Our name does not need to appear in it. The record link at the end is enough. Never write. That we confirmed the role, or that your college did. That the organization is a chapter of Tillyard; it is not. A role or dates other than those on the page. "Present" after the role has ended or been handed over. In an interview. Talk about the organization and what you did as an officer. If the record comes up: "Another officer confirmed my role and dates on a records site we use." On LinkedIn. Organizations. The organization is your student organization. Tillyard appears nowhere in the entry except, if you like, as the record link in the description. 4.12 Service for a charity or a public body ------------------------------------------- Kind. Recorded. A contact at the organization opened a confirmation link, read the claim and confirmed it. The page says who confirmed and from what kind of address. You arranged the work with the organization. We did not set it up, direct it or supervise it. Section. Service, or Volunteering. Lines you can use. - Short: Intake spreadsheet and guide, for Scioto Bend Community Pantry (unpaid), January to March 2027 - Full: Built an intake spreadsheet and a one-page guide for Scioto Bend Community Pantry with one other student, January to March 2027 (unpaid); confirmed by the pantry's program coordinator from the pantry's own email address. What your line can say about the confirmation depends on what your page says: Service for a charity or a public body. Columns: your page says, your line can say. Your page says | Your line can say ---------------------------------- "Confirmed by [name], [role], [organization] … from an @[organization's domain] address" | "Confirmed by the organization's [role] from its own email address", or the page's sentence "Unverified contact" | Nothing about confirmation. List the work and the link, and let the page speak "Confirmed by a contact at [organization] who asked not to be named" | "Confirmed by a contact at the organization". Do not name the person "Confirmation withdrawn" | Take the confirmation out of your line. If it was the only basis for the item, take the line off Never write. "Partnered with [organization]". "Consultant to" or "contractor for" the organization. "Hired by", "employed by", "intern at" the organization, unless you were, in which case it is a job and belongs under Experience as their employee, not as a service item here. "Placed by Tillyard" or "through Tillyard's program": we place nobody and run no program. The organization's logo. A claim that the organization endorses you or us. A number of hours as though it were recorded; the Record does not state hours. Do not put your contact's name, email address or telephone number on your résumé on the strength of the confirmation. Confirming a fact on a page is not agreeing to be your reference. Ask them separately if you want one. In an interview. "I built an intake spreadsheet for a local food pantry as a volunteer. I arranged it with them directly. Their program coordinator confirmed what I did and the dates." On LinkedIn. Volunteer experience. Service for a charity or a public body (table 2). Columns: linkedIn box, what to paste. LinkedIn box | What to paste ---------------------------- Organization | The outside organization. Never Tillyard Role | What you did, for example "Volunteer: built an intake spreadsheet" Start and end dates | From your page Description | The full line, with the record link as text 4.13 A contribution to a public open project, and an open resource ------------------------------------------------------------------ Kind. Recorded. For a contribution, students at other colleges opened the public link and typed what it showed: the account, the date and the state of the change. The project's own reviewers accepted it. For an open resource, students opened the link and found the licence and the author as stated. Section. Service for a contribution to a public project; Projects for a code contribution or an open resource. Lines you can use. - Translated 1,400 words of an open mapping project's interface into Spanish; accepted by the project's own reviewers, March 2027 - "Reading a regression table" (open resource, CC BY 4.0), 2027 Never write. That you are a "member", "editor", "staff" or "partner" of the project or the institution behind it, unless the project itself gave you that standing. That the project or institution has any connection with us. A count of contributions the project's own public pages do not show. In an interview. Describe the contribution and the project's own acceptance of it. That is the part with weight. On LinkedIn. Volunteer experience, with the project as the organization, or Projects. 4.14 Peer help tables --------------------- Kind. Recorded. Counted from the attendance log. Section. Leadership and activities. Not Service or Volunteering: a help table has no outside organization, and nobody volunteers for the company (section 3.4). Line you can use. Led 6 peer help tables in organic chemistry and statistics for 19 students from 4 colleges, Autumn 2026 Never write. "Tutor" as a job title, "teaching assistant", "instructor". "Tutored for Tillyard". Any claim about grades the people you helped went on to get. Help tables are for explaining things students have already been taught; do not describe them as help with graded coursework. In an interview. "I ran six open help sessions in subjects I'd finished, for students at other colleges. It was peer to peer and unpaid." On LinkedIn. Organizations or Projects, as in 4.4. Not Volunteer experience with Tillyard as the organization. 4.15 Self-reported items, and things another body issued -------------------------------------------------------- Kind. Self-reported. You added it. Nobody here checked it. It has no record page, no code and no QR code. Section. Wherever it honestly belongs on your résumé. A real job goes under Experience. A campus award goes under Honors. This is your life outside the site, and the ordinary rules of résumé writing apply. How to list it. In your own words, as your own claim, with no mention of us. Having typed it into your Record adds nothing to it and should not appear to. For something another body issued, such as a licence or a test result, name the issuer and use the issuer's own way of checking. Your Record shows it as "[Your name] reports holding [what], issued by [whom]", which is our way of saying we did not check. On your résumé you simply list it with the issuer's name, as you would have anyway. Never write. "On record at Tillyard" or "listed on my Tillyard Record" as if that confirmed it. A link to your public page offered as proof of a self-reported item. The name of one of our titles, or the words "approved by the editor", on something you added yourself. In an interview. Talk about it as what it is. If someone has seen it on your public page under "Self-reported", say so: "That section is things I added myself." On LinkedIn. Wherever it belongs. It has nothing to do with us. 4.16 The college email line --------------------------- Your profile and record pages carry a line such as "Verified .edu email, checked March 2027". It means a code sent to a mailbox at that college was typed back that month. It does not show that you are enrolled, how old you are or who you are. It is not a résumé item. Your Education section already says where you study. Do not write "verified student", "student status verified", "enrolment verified by Tillyard" or anything like it. If you ever need to quote the line, quote it exactly, date included. 4.17 Keepsakes and participation counts --------------------------------------- Stamps, mugs, founding numbers and postmarks are marks for showing up. A count of visits to The Shop in a term is a participation line. None of these is an item on The Record, and none has a record page. Leave them off your résumé. They are not honors, awards or credentials, and listing one as such would be untrue. If you want to mention that you study alongside other people online, that is an interest, and you can say it in your own words. 4.18 Membership itself ---------------------- Being a member is not an achievement. Anyone who meets the conditions in the Eligibility and Verification Policy can join, and nobody is selected. If you want to mention it, put it under Activities, in words like these: "Member, Tillyard (online network for college students), 2026 to present". Do not write "selected", "admitted", "inducted", "fellow", "scholar" or "alum". Do not put it under Education, Honors or Professional affiliations. 4.19 Things that leave nothing to list -------------------------------------- - The résumé tools in The Workbench. A résumé is not an entry on a résumé. - A résumé swap. Two members read each other's résumés. It is recorded nowhere that anyone can cite. - Practice exercises and timers. Results are shown to you alone and go nowhere. - Guides you read in The Almanac. Reading is not a course. - Connections, nods and notes. They are how you talk to people here. - The interest list for a research cohort. Putting your name down is not an application, an offer or a place in anything. No cohort is offered at present. - A tip. A tip is a tip. It is not sponsorship or patronage and it changes nothing on your Record. 5. Words that do not go on the line =================================== Words that do not go on the line. Columns: do not write, because, write instead. Do not write | Because | Write instead -------------------------------------- Intern, internship, research intern, virtual internship | Titles such as Published Author and Session host are not internships. Only a term of the Tillyard Internship program is, and its Record line says so | What you did: "Author", "Hosted", "Built" Employee, staff, team member, position, role at, hired, worked for, analyst at, associate | You were not employed by us | The activity and the section it belongs in Volunteer for Tillyard | What you did here was your own activity, not work for us | "Hosted", "Read", "Led". For outside service, name the outside organization Supervisor, manager, reporting to, assigned, shift, required hours | Nobody supervised you or assigned anything | Nothing. Leave it out Fellow, scholar, ambassador, representative, chapter | These suggest selection, funding or a role speaking for us | The title exactly as your page writes it, or none Certified, certification, certificate, credentialed, licensed, qualified | We award no evidence of skill or proficiency | What you did and who confirmed it Accredited, for credit, coursework, course, class, program, graduate of, alum | We are not a school | "A three-part table series", "a student publication" Peer-reviewed, refereed, journal article, academic journal | Tillyard Research is a student publication. Its readers are students | "Read by three students at other colleges and approved by the editor" Verified (with nothing after it), verified by Tillyard, independently verified, audited, validated | Each claims more checking than happened | The exact source: "counted from the attendance log", "confirmed by an officer of the organization" Verified student, enrolment verified | We check a mailbox. We do not check enrolment | Nothing. Your Education section covers it Award, prize, winner, first place, best paper, ranked, top [number] percent | There are no prizes and no rankings of members | "Readers' Selection" or "Finalist", with the page's two numbers Passed, completed, level, grade, score, proficient in | We do not test or grade | The count or the fact on your page Partnered with, on behalf of, endorsed by, in association with (a college, an organization, a project) | Nobody named on a page is our partner, and we are not theirs | What that person or body did, in the page's words [Number] hours | The Record does not state hours | The counts and dates on your page Checked for AI, plagiarism-checked | We make no such finding | Nothing Guaranteed, recognized by employers, industry-recognized | We promise no outcome, and nobody should promise one on our behalf | Nothing 6. The link, the code and the QR code ===================================== 6.1 Three ways a reader can check --------------------------------- - The link. The address of the record page, beginning tillyard.org/r/. In a file sent by email or uploaded, a reader can click it. - The code. Ten characters. A reader with a paper copy goes to tillyard.org/verify and types it. Capitals or not, with or without the hyphen. - The QR code. A picture of the link, which you can download from your item page and print. On the record page itself the address is printed in text beside it. All three open the same page. 6.2 Before you send a résumé ---------------------------- 1. Check the sharing setting of every item you list. An item set to "Only me" shows a reader "This item is no longer listed". For a link or code to work, the item must be set to "Anyone with the link" or "On my public page". 2. Open each one as a visitor. Every item has "See it as a visitor". Use it. Read the page as a stranger would and make sure your line matches it. 3. Check the numbers. If a count on the page has moved since you wrote the line, change the line. 4. Check the status. If the page says anything other than active, section 12 applies. 6.3 Where to put the check -------------------------- - At the end of the line. "… and approved by the editor. Check: tillyard.org/verify, code 7K4MQ-2XPDZ". Your item page gives you this as the third length of the line. - As a link behind the title, in a file that will be read on a screen. Keep the code or the address visible in text as well, because a résumé is often printed and a link is often stripped. - Once for several items. If you list three items, you can put each code at the end of its line and the words "Check any of these at tillyard.org/verify" once, below. A QR code is a picture. Software that reads résumés does not read pictures, and neither does a person skimming on paper, so the text link or the code must always be there too. Whether to include the picture at all in a file you upload is your decision. 6.4 Your public page -------------------- If you have switched your public page on, you can put its address in your résumé's header beside your email address, or in your email signature. Do this only if you are happy for the reader to see everything on that page, including anything you have chosen to show under "Self-reported" and "Taking part". A link to a single record page shows one item. A link to your public page shows what you chose to put on it. Pick the one that suits the reader. 6.5 What the reader will see ---------------------------- They will see the item, your name, your college if you chose to show it, the college email line, the facts, the dates, how we know, the status with the day's date, and a fixed statement that includes the sentence that you were not an employee, intern or contractor of Tillyard. They will not see a score, a grade, anything about reports or suspensions, a photograph, your age or any way to contact you. You can see how many times an item was opened, by day, and how many of those came from someone typing the code. You cannot see who opened it, and neither can we. 6.6 Screenshots, saved copies and the printed Record of activity ---------------------------------------------------------------- The page at tillyard.org/r/ is the record. A screenshot or a saved PDF is a picture of how it stood on one day. Do not send one in place of the link, and never edit one. You can print a "Record of activity" listing the items you choose, each with its dates, its "how we know" sentence and its code. It is useful to hand over at an interview or a career fair. It is not a transcript, a diploma or a letter from us, and we do not sign it. Do not call it any of those. Its own foot says that statuses can change and that the page behind each code is the current record. 6.7 What the résumé tools do ---------------------------- The Workbench can draft lines from what is on your Record, each with its link and code. You can reword them. The numbers and dates are the record's, so leave those alone. The résumé checker has a small group of honesty checks. At present it may flag our name under an Experience heading, our name beside an employment word, a line whose numbers differ from The Record, and a line whose item is no longer listed. A flag is a prompt to look. The checker does not see every résumé you send, and a résumé with no flags is not thereby accurate. Getting the line right is up to you. The checker's other notes are conventions that recruiters and parsing systems commonly expect. Meeting them does not decide what happens to an application. 7. Numbers, dates and names =========================== 7.1 Numbers ----------- - Use the numbers on your page as they stand on the day you send the résumé. - Do not round up. "Nearly 10 tables" is 9 tables. - Do not add terms together into one figure unless your page does. List each term, or the most recent. - Do not add tables, sessions, people or pieces that were not logged, even if they happened. - Do not turn a count into a rate, a rank or a percentage. 7.2 Hours --------- The Record states counts and dates. It does not state hours, and we do not issue a statement of hours for anything. Do not put a number of hours beside our name. If an application form asks how many hours a week you gave to an activity, answer from your own honest knowledge, and understand that the answer is your own statement. Nothing on your record page will support it. 7.3 Dates --------- - Use the dates on the page: a month, a term or a range. - Do not write "to present" for something that has ended. A Table Host title belongs to one term. - A paper has a publication date. Use that, not the date you started writing. 7.4 Your name and your college ------------------------------ - The name on a record page is your current name on the site. Your résumé should carry the same name, so that a reader can see the two belong together. If you go by a different name professionally, change your name on the site first. - A record page shows your college only if you chose to show it. Your Education section is yours to write and has nothing to do with us. - How you name your college on your own résumé is between you and your college. Do not place a college's name next to ours in a way that suggests the two are connected. 7.5 Other people's names ------------------------ - Teammates. "With 3 students from 2 colleges" needs nobody's permission. Naming a teammate on your résumé does. - Outside confirmers. Refer to them by role. Do not print their name or contact details as though they were a reference. - Readers. You do not know who read your paper, and the reading is blind in both directions. Do not guess, and do not name anyone. - Organizations. Name them in text. No logos, and no words such as "partner". 8. LinkedIn =========== 8.1 How adding an item to LinkedIn works ---------------------------------------- Each item page on The Record has a part headed "Add it to LinkedIn". It names the section of your profile to use and gives you the text for each box, with a copy button for each. You paste them in yourself. We do not connect to LinkedIn, read your profile, or send anything there. LinkedIn does not reliably fill these boxes in from a link, which is why the site gives you text and not a button. LinkedIn is a separate company with its own terms. It does not sponsor or endorse us, and we are not affiliated with it. 8.2 The section map ------------------- The section map. Columns: what you did, linkedIn section, who goes in the organization, publisher or issuer box. What you did | LinkedIn section | Who goes in the organization, publisher or issuer box ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A paper in Tillyard Research | Publications | Tillyard Research (student publication) Readers' Selection | Publications, in the paper's description | Tillyard Research A finalist's line from a round | Projects | Tillyard (scored by other entrants) Hosting; the Table Host title; a series, a circle or a talk; papers read | Organizations | Tillyard An officer role | Organizations | Your student organization A team project; a portfolio piece; a round entry; a log; an open resource | Projects | No organization box. Put the record link in the description as text Service for a charity or a public body; a contribution to a public project | Volunteer experience | The outside organization or project. Never Tillyard A skill a recorded item involved | Skills | Tick the entry above where you used it Something you self-reported | Wherever it belongs | Not us 8.3 Sections never to use for anything from here ------------------------------------------------ - Experience (LinkedIn's "Add position"). LinkedIn would then show you as working for Tillyard, and may list you among the company's people. You do not work for us. This is the single most important rule on this page. - Education. We are not a school. - Licenses & certifications. That section is for things an awarding body issued. We are not one, and nothing we record is a licence or a certification. - Courses and Test scores. We run no courses and give no tests. - Recommendations. We do not write them. Please do not ask the owner or the editor for one. - Career break. Time spent here is not a kind of employment gap to be labelled. 8.4 Headline and About ---------------------- Your headline and your About text are yours. Two cautions. - LinkedIn's usual way of writing a job is "[Title] at [Company]". A headline such as "Published Author at Tillyard" or "Table Host at Tillyard" reads as a job. Leave our titles out of your headline. If you want to mention a paper, say "Published in Tillyard Research (student publication)". - In About, describe what you did in a sentence and link to it. "I wrote a paper on cold-chain losses in food banks, published in a student publication" is true and enough. 8.5 "Associated with" --------------------- Several LinkedIn sections ask what an entry is "associated with" and offer your schools and your positions. Choose your college if the item belongs to your time there, or leave it empty. There is no Tillyard position to choose, because you should not have created one. 8.6 Featured, and posts ----------------------- You can add a link to your paper or to a record page under Featured. That is a link and needs nothing more. A post is different from a profile entry. If you hold a title or a keepsake, host tables, or have received anything from us, and you write a post about Tillyard, say what connects you to us in the post itself. The Hosting Terms and Disclosure Policy and section 8 of the Trademark and Brand Use Policy explain how. We never ask for posts, and we never reward or penalize one. 8.7 Skills ---------- If you add a skill and LinkedIn asks where you used it, tick the entry for the item that involved it. Do not write that we tested, rated or endorsed the skill. Endorsements between LinkedIn users are LinkedIn's feature and have nothing to do with us. 8.8 If Tillyard has a page on LinkedIn ------------------------------------- Following a company's page is fine. Selecting that company as your employer is not. If LinkedIn offers to link an entry to a company page as your workplace, decline. 8.9 If LinkedIn changes ----------------------- LinkedIn renames and rearranges its sections from time to time, and the names here may be out of date when you read this. The rule does not change: whichever box means "I worked for them", "I studied there" or "they certified me" is the wrong box. 9. Application forms, cover letters and other profiles ====================================================== 9.1 Forms that ask about employment or internships -------------------------------------------------- Answer on the facts. Nothing you did here as an ordinary member was employment or an internship, so: - do not enter Tillyard as an employer; - do not enter anyone here as a supervisor or manager; - if a form asks "Have you completed an internship?", nothing here makes the answer yes, apart from a term of the Tillyard Internship program; - if a form asks whether it may contact your employer, there is no employer here to contact. If a form insists on an employer for every entry, do not use that part of the form for anything from here. Use its activities, projects, publications or additional-information section. 9.2 Background checks and employment verification ------------------------------------------------- Do not list us on a background-check or employment-history form. We do not answer employment-verification requests, because there was no employment to verify, and we do not fill in verification forms or confirm records by phone, email or letter. The record page is the whole of what we say. If a screening firm asks you about a line on your résumé that mentions us, give them the link. 9.3 References -------------- Do not list Tillyard, its owner or its editor as a reference. We do not give references or recommendations to anyone. A teammate, an officer or an outside contact who confirmed something on your Record has confirmed a fact. They have not agreed to be your reference. Ask them yourself, away from the site, if you would like one. 9.4 Cover letters ----------------- One sentence is usually enough, and it should send the reader to the work: - "Last spring I wrote a paper on cold-chain losses in Ohio food banks for a student publication; three students at other colleges read it and the editor approved it. It is linked on my résumé." - "I built a food-waste tracker with three students from two colleges, and did the data analysis." Do not describe us as your employer, your program or your school. Do not say that we recommend you. 9.5 Graduate school and scholarship applications ------------------------------------------------ - List a paper under publications or writing, with the words "student publication". - If a form has a "research experience" section, you can describe a project you did on your own as an independent, self-directed project. Do not write "research assistant", "under the supervision of", "in the lab of" or "funded by" on the strength of anything here. - Describe Readers' Selection in the page's words, with its two numbers. - Admissions readers know the difference between a student publication and a scholarly journal. Saying which one this is costs you nothing and protects you. 9.6 Credit forms and anything that needs our signature ------------------------------------------------------ We do not sign credit forms, practicum agreements, learning plans, hour logs or evaluations, because we do not supervise what members do. If your college gives you credit for something you did on your own, that is your college's decision under its own rules. What Tillyard is says more. 9.7 Campus career platforms and other profile sites --------------------------------------------------- The same rules apply on any site that keeps a profile. Whatever the boxes are called, the one that means "I worked for them" is the wrong one. Use the activities, projects, publications or organizations box. On a personal website or portfolio you can link to your paper, your record pages or your public page. Do not copy the look of a record page, do not reproduce the editor's mark, and do not make an image or badge that looks as though we issued it. We offer no badges or widgets for other sites. 9.8 Email signature ------------------- The Record can give you a text-only line for an email signature, in a few forms, for example your name, the title of an item and its link. It is text only on purpose. Use it as it is. Do not add a job title, and do not use an address that looks as though it belongs to us. We do not give members email addresses at our domain. 10. In an interview =================== 10.1 The shape of a good answer ------------------------------- An interviewer who asks about something on your résumé wants to hear how you think. Give them, in about two minutes: 1. What you set out to do, and why it was worth the time. 2. What you did, dull parts included. 3. What came of it, with a number if there is one. 4. Who checked it, in one exact sentence that matches the page. 5. What you would do differently. Say "I" where it was you and "we" where it was the team. If a teammate did the hard part, say so. It can be checked, and generosity reads well. 10.2 Questions to be ready for ------------------------------ Questions to be ready for. Columns: the question, an honest answer. The question | An honest answer ------------------------------- What is Tillyard? | "A website for college students, run by a small nonprofit. Students work alongside each other there, and it has a student publication and a place to record projects." Was this an internship? | "No. It was my own project. Nobody assigned it or supervised it, and I wasn't paid." Who supervised you? | "Nobody. I chose the topic and did the work myself." Why isn't it under Experience? | "Because it wasn't a job. I didn't want to suggest it was." Is Tillyard Research peer-reviewed? | "No. It's a student publication. Three students at other colleges read my paper against a published rubric, and the editor decided to publish it." Who are the readers? | "Students at other colleges who chose to read. It's blind, so I don't know who they were." Who is the editor? | "The person who runs the company. The site says who that is." How were you chosen? Is it selective? | "Joining isn't selective. Any adult student at a listed college can. The paper was accepted by the editor after it was read." Were you paid? | "No." How many hours did it take? | Your own honest estimate, given as your own: "I'd say about forty hours over six weeks. That's my estimate; the site records dates and counts, not hours." Did you use AI tools? | Say what for, in one sentence, the way the declaration on your paper does. Can I call someone there about you? | "They don't give references or confirm things by phone. The page behind the link is what they say, and it shows whether the record still stands." What does "Verified .edu email" mean? | "That my college mailbox answered a code that month. It isn't the college vouching for me." What is a Table Host? | "The site's name for a term in which I hosted a set number of study tables. It's counted from an attendance log. It isn't a role with the company." The link says "no longer listed". | "I must have that item set to private. I'll switch it on and send you a current link." 10.3 Things not to say aloud either ----------------------------------- The list in section 5 applies to speech. An interviewer who hears "my internship at Tillyard" and then opens a page that says you were not an intern has learned something about you that you did not intend. 10.4 If the interviewer has never heard of us --------------------------------------------- That is the usual case. We are new and small. Do not oversell. Say what the site is in a sentence, offer the link, and move on to the work itself. A reader who opens a paper and finds it good has all the evidence that matters. 10.5 Preparing -------------- The Almanac has a guide to talking about a paper or a project in an interview, and The Workbench has a story builder and a practice timer. Both are there to help you say true things clearly. Neither scores you, and nothing from them goes on your Record. 11. If you are an international student ======================================= Nothing you do here as an ordinary member is employment, an internship, practical training or volunteering for an employer, and your résumé should not call it any of those. A term of the Tillyard Internship program is separate. It is unpaid, and only its own Record line may be listed as an internship. Describing an activity as an internship when it was not is inaccurate on any résumé. For a student on a visa it can also raise questions that have nothing to do with what you actually did. We do not give immigration advice and cannot tell you how your visa rules treat any activity. If you hold an F-1 or other student visa and are unsure about hosting regularly, about service for an outside organization, or about how to describe either, ask your college's international student office before you do it and before you list it. 12. When something changes ========================== When something changes. Columns: what changed, what a reader who follows your link sees, what to do. What changed | What a reader who follows your link sees | What to do -------------------------------------------------------------------- An item was withdrawn, by you, by the area it came from, or by us | "This item was withdrawn", with a month, whatever your sharing settings say | Take the line off your résumé, your LinkedIn profile and anywhere else, no later than 7 days afterwards. Tell anyone you sent it to if it matters to a decision they are making You set an item to "Only me", or put it away | "This item is no longer listed" | Take the line off, or remove the link and code from it. Bring the item back before you send that résumé again An item is hidden while we look at a report or a dispute | "This item is no longer listed" | Wait, or leave it off for now. Editing the item does not release a hold A line on a project is marked "disputed" | The active page, with the note | Do not use that line until your teammates have confirmed again or the line is withdrawn An outside contact withdrew a confirmation | "Confirmation withdrawn" | Take the confirmation out of your line. If nothing else supports the item, take the line off You edited an outside link after it was read | "Link changed since it was read" | Leave the claim about what readers found out of your line until it has been read again A count went up or down | The new number | Change your line to match Your yearly college email check lapsed | The same page, with "School email last checked [month]" | Nothing. Your items stand and your links work You graduated | The same page | Nothing. Use past tense where the activity has ended You moved to another college | The same page. The college shown, if you show one, is your new one | Check that this is what you want a reader to see You changed your name on the site | Your new name | Make sure your résumé carries the same name You closed your account | "No longer listed" for items that stood; "withdrawn" for items already withdrawn | Take every line that mentions us off your résumé, or expect a reader to find nothing behind the link We change our name | We aim to keep items and their links working under the new name and to say what the former name was | Check your links, and update the name in your lines We keep nothing about who opened a page, so when an item changes we cannot tell anyone who saw it earlier. If you sent a résumé last week and an item on it was withdrawn this week, the only person who can tell the reader is you. 13. If a line says more than the record ======================================= 13.1 What we may do ------------------- If we learn that a member has described an item as more than it is, we may ask them to correct it. Where the misdescription concerns a title or an item on The Record and is not corrected, we may withdraw that title or item. The Record and Verification Policy (sections 13 and 16), the Trademark and Brand Use Policy (sections 7 and 19) and the Reporting, Enforcement and Appeals Policy govern, including the single second look a member can ask for. We do not go looking through members' résumés, and we do not tell anyone's employer or college anything. What we say is on the record page. 13.2 What an employer may do ---------------------------- That is the employer's business and has nothing to do with us. Most employers treat a misstatement on a résumé seriously, including after an offer has been made. A line that matches its record page gives you nothing to worry about. 13.3 Honest mistakes -------------------- If you find that you described something wrongly, fix it. Change the résumé and the profile, and if it matters to someone who is deciding something about you, tell them. Nobody here holds an honest mistake against you once it is corrected. 13.4 If you see someone else do it ---------------------------------- Anyone can tell us about a title or a record they believe is false, or about a page or a document that imitates one of ours, through the form at tillyard.org/dispute or by writing to legal@tillyard.org. We do not promise an outcome or a time, and we do not report back on what we did about another person. 14. One-page summary ==================== One-page summary.

Changes to this document ======================== We may revise this guide. When we do, we change the version number and the effective date at the top. Résumé conventions and other companies' products change, and parts of this guide may be out of date when you read it. The line on your own item page, and the policies named in section 1.3, are what count.
