#2: Initial revision
In CVs or on Linkedin profiles there are often spaces dedicated to past experience. In those sections, one is supposed to describe what work he/she did and what skills he/she acquired on previous workplaces/projects. ## In this context, is it better to describe the experience in a personal or impersonal way? A personal way (e.g. first person) underlines the subjects: > **Project X** > > While assigned to Project X, I've learned how to mix dangerous chemical ingredients in a cauldron to bring out their hidden potential. Eventually, along with my team, we pushed further the research on superhuman abilities. An impersonal way, to my understanding, underlines the skills acquired: > **Project X** > > Manufacturing and treating of dangerous chemical ingredients. Testing of superhuman abilities in a controlled environment. Eating of snacks in the down times.
