Mistakes that cost interviews

  • Patient identifiers
  • Technique lists without results
  • Authorship or scale overstated

Evidence that counts in science and research

  • Techniques and instruments run personally
  • Publications, patents and presentations with authorship as stated
  • Documented project results
  • Throughput and quality in lab settings
  • Funding and collaborations

Use what your resume already shows. A line without a number can still be strong when it says clearly what you did and where.

Research Scientist, Laboratory Technician, Environmental Scientist, and all 150 roles.

These are common reading conventions drawn from hiring guides and career services, not rules every employer follows.
