AMCAS experiences

Anyone who is doing/done AMCAS stuff, how did you format your work/experiences paragraphs? Right now Im just writing paragraphs like "I worked .... I learned how to ..., ..., ... and ... I worked one day per weekend and during breaks. I.... I..." you get the point. I want to write this is a little more eloquently (a little less 3rd grade), but I just cant find a format to do that without sounding stupid or being unclear. Some of my jobs just are clearly explained by the AMCAS example format like "I learn how to run gels, track protein flow, ect..." Does anybody think what I'm doing is OK or did you do the same? or do you have any suggestions for getting around the I..I..I... problem?
Thanks.

There have been topics on this, just do a search. But I think they just changed the work/exper section by allowing more characters so nobody really knows the BEST way to write this. Stay concise and dont add B.S. cuz adcoms can recognize that.

Yeah, I've seem some topics on what to incude and what not to, but I haven't found stuff about "how" to write/format it. The search tool on this forum is not vey good. 😛

And to the "how" maybe asking a english professor for help on sentence flow. Maybe the same professor who is helping you with the personal statement.
