Questions

While I am working this project, how can I put this on a resume as project? -I am currently working with a group and we just have written up a business plan. I have started a brief market research campaign. -This is my first serious attempt at starting a business and never had any experience with developing a marketing plan before or business plan. So this is college without grades and paying tuition. -The accomplishments that pertain to me in this project: -Learned a lot about starting a business in general -I have fundamental understanding in starting a marketing campaign thanks to the internet - Developed more into a leader. - How to compare competitors and improve on what they are doing into what we are doing - I have found that I am awesome researcher and think very analytically. Overall: this is still in progress but still want to add this to the list to show creativity and being a self starter and I can stand up to any challenge. Trying to figure out what this can do for an employer. Suggestions? #thanks!:)

Great question!
If creating a startup, why would you need a resume?
For now let's assume you're looking for a side job and want to use this as experience...
Focus not in what thresholds you might have accomplished but the route you took to get there. For example, describe your ability to effectively communicate a problem and direct a team to develop and implement a solution. Or the number of sales you have generated for the startup ahead of expectations, web design abilities, etc... Unless is a well known brand no one cares if you simply list: "launched a start up company that did x" what recruiters want to see is the applicable value you bring to their company for your applicable job description...
