Showcasing Your

Leadership Experience

USC CAREER CENTER

As student leaders you have the opportunity to develop many transferable skills in your roles on campus. In

these peer leadership roles, you gain knowledge, skills and abilities that employers look for on a resume. You

may be learning the skills necessary to facilitate cooperation, network with a variety of constituents, plan

events and encourage peer participation, counsel and advise students, motivate others, mediate conflicts,

facilitate programs, and present to groups. Before you can effectively communicate your skills to an employer,

it is important for you to reflect on your experiences. You should review the competencies gained and

strategize how to communicate each of your transferable skills through a resume and ultimately an interview.

REFLECT ON YOUR EXPERIENCES:

Write your position description below: (If you do not have a copy of your description ask your supervisor or

fellow peers if they have one available)

Identify your key accomplishments. What are you most proud of?

What has been a noteworthy experience?

Describe your typical role at meetings.

What programs have you planned and implemented during your time as a student leader?
