  1. On a resume, you definitely want to say "I have written several..." it should be professional and not have contractions (two words put together like didn't, can't, I'm, I've).

    You would only want to use "I wrote several..." when you are talking about a specific instance of writing....I wrote several letters yesterday...

    When you are speaking of writing you have done in general "I have written several short essays about the hibernation patterns of bears" is more appropriate.

    I hope this sheds some light...


  2. I guess it depends on the individual sentence/context

    You can say "As a journalist, I've written several articles on..."

    Alternatively, you can put it as "During my school days, I wrote several articles on..."

    So both are fine as long as they suit the context of the sentence

    Personally I feel for a resume "I've written..." sounds better :)

  3. "English wise" they're both fine.  It depends what you want to say.  Wrote is simple past.  Have written is past perfect.  

    (English wise is not good English.  You can just say English.)


  4. Both are good.

    "I've written several" sounds more formal, old English like.

    the other  "I wrote several" sounds more like American English.

    So now you can make an informative decision.
