Work Experience on a Resume (response post)
22 Mar
So I tweeted about my earlier post (right below this one) and got some great feedback from @heatherhuhman, @davidbaker09, @amymengel and @alecjr. General consensus was to leave off work experience and only emphasize the most relevant industry experience. But at the same time, if something is important to you, you’ve got to be who you are and stick with it.
I really liked @amymengel’s advice of including the part-time work experience as a bullet under education. So I changed up the resume. It’s a win/win because it includes that thing that is important to me but it doesn’t distract from the internships. Thanks for the tip!
Here is the old resume:
[scribd id=13522143 key=key-1wwj4gddb0rpn2uexiiy]
Here is the new resume:
[scribd id=13557938 key=key-2bso3jjgacmv13bulpfm]
I think the new one looks slightly less cluttered.
Thank you so much for the discussion. I hope other kids read this and get something out of it!
Until next time,
Use the hashtags #printern and #pradvice. It’s a great way to get feedback from professionals!
