Description of Duties Examples

I saw one example of this but did not see anymore. I was just wondering if anyone would post their description of duties on the VMCAS so I can get an idea of how to get as much in the space as possible.

I saw that bullets is popular. Should I seperate duties due to species (Im a LA animal tech but also do some SA tech duties) becuase some duties are only found in LA for example.

Thank alot you guys

I would c&p some examples here, but they've closed my account from last year and I can't log in anymore 🙁

Here's what I did, though - I used bulleted lists. I abbreviated things that were repeated (Like: write Large Animal first, then LA from then on out). I phrased all my bullets in the same form so I could just go:
- verbed objects
- verbed other objects
- verbed yet more objects

I wouldn't go so far as to separate by species, just list your extra LA duties separately, indicating that they're LA.
e.g.:
- verbed x.
- verbed y in the LA clinic.

Use short words, the PS is your chance to sound smart, this is the place where you get to the point. Use simple umbrella categories rather than trying to enumerate every little thing (i.e., say "blood work" rather than "venipuncture, cytometry, &c.").

I pretty much did the same format as Tiktaalik, but when it came to tech skills utilized, I just listed them (separated by semi-colons between groups of things). I also listed the species worked with at the end.

It seems to not really matter how exactly you give the information as long as it's there. I tended to write in short paragraphs, but generally more in a list fashion with commas.

I did this too. I just didnt include any fluff words and i'm sure most of my sentences were fragments.
