The scholarship aims to prepare you for a career in the energy industry. A tip for success would be to relate your career goals with getting a job in Exelon corporation.
2. Use professional language
As much as it is crucial to stay authentic, remember your audience. Don't use informal words; instead, use professional language to write your application.
3. Make your résumé achievement-focused
It is not enough to say you have worked or volunteered in a particular organization; you want to stand out by stating your accomplishments while you filled those roles. Ensure your résumé should highlight this.
4. Demonstrate leadership qualities
Your résumé and essay should shed more light on this. Talk about times you led a team, volunteered, or took intuitive roles. The icing on the cake is talking about giving back. Leadership and community participation serve as a benchmark for judging candidates.
