[nabs-l] Resumes

[Jameyanne Fuller]

As I understand it, how far back you go depends on where you are in your
career. If you're a first year college student, you should definitely
include your summer work programs in high school. If you're a senior in
college (maybe if you're a junior too), and you've had other experiences,
you probably don't need to include them, unless the experience you gained
there is directly related to the jobs you're applying for. You can and
should have different resumes for different applications. If you're a grad
student, or a few years out of college applying to grad school, your high
school stuff should definitely not be there . Hope this is helpful.

Hey All,

Just wondering about what should be included on a resume.
I have made them before so I know previous work, contact information,
education Etc. but how far back should work experience go? I did a work
program in freshman year of high school (in the summer) and then I did one
while at the Carroll Center before my senior year.
Would I list those? THey were five weeks and paid. How would I explain the
one from the carroll center if I was at one job three days a week for five
weeks and the other only three days out of the five weeks?
Also, could I use those places as references?
Thanks for any responses.
Christina
