I defined and recorded detailed steps for stakeholders’ conflicts. I executed a StepOne process for stakeholders to validate changes resulting from HR conflicts.

Hi Cynthia,
Are you applying for the PMP ? If yes, then you probably need to adjust your work experience to reflect more on Initiating, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Control & Closing. My advise to you is to clearly indicate under each work experience what you did per phase.
I understand you are limited with the number of letters so you can use abbreviations as follows:
Ini: Participated in charter review etc etc
Planning: Budget Estimates, Schedule Baseline ....
And so on.
By the way, for example under youthimpact15 you mentioned you created WBS for quality and structuring of competitions ... I am not sure I fully understand this or if this is the real purpose of a WBS.
Those are my 2 cents. Good Luck ! Saving Changes...
