How can I distribute my Work/Activities?

Hi folks,

so I have the following experiences and associated awards/posters. In the bracket I am mentioning under which category I am putting them.

-summer research + NSERC for this research + poster for this research (Under Awards)
-summer research + institutional award for this research + poster for this research + poster abstract submitted for a conference for this research (Under Poster/Presentations)
- summer research just by itself (under Research/Labs)
- undergrad thesis (under Research/Labs)
- Shadowing/Research experience (Under Volunteering-Clinical)

So as you can see, I am trying to sort my research experiences into different categories. I don't really want to have a bunch of Research/Labs experiences when I actually have other stuff to mention. On the other hand, I also do not want to create separate fields for the research and the award and the poster etc. etc. that is attached with that research.

Is it okay if I put them in different categories? I may lose some brownie points for consistency.

Thanks in advance.

Can someone please comment on this? This is the only thing holding me back from submitting my primary.

I'm no expert, but the way you've sorted them looks fine to me. I have a lot of teaching/tutoring experience but I'm putting some of it under volunteering (when applicable) to balance things out. I don't think there's anything wrong with that when an experience fits in multiple categories.

You are in a pickle there. You have quite a bit of research. Not sure what the best way is; I am not very happy w/ listing reserach under award or posters. List one under Employment?
what are the other options? I donot remember.

I've got one Employment already. I think for research Research/Labs, Poster/Presentations, Conference Attended, Publications and Volunteering are relevant.

The thing is that many times, one has a combination of these for one research position and so listing everything under Research seems a bit repetitive. I just want to minimize the number of slots I use to describe everything associated with one research position.
