awards & honors??

if i have been published in a magazine w an international readership (ex affinity mag), would it be ok to list that as an “international” recognition? i don’t have space in activities and im already discussing smth else in additional info (i’d prefer not to tack this onto the other thing bc they r totally unrelated). thank u !!

If you’ve had a piece published in a magazine – international or domestic – I would list it on your EC list or the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SECTION under “Publications." You would then include the title of your work, where it was published (including the volume and/or issue if it’s a journal or magazine), when it appeared and the URL if you were published online. But I would NOT list the publication as an award or honor – as it’s neither of those things.

I understand your reluctance to delete something from your EC list to place it there or add it to the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SECTION, but that is where it belongs, as it’s a noted accomplishment, not an award or honor.

ok thank u!! i guess i was just kind of worried that they’d skip over the additional info section

They won’t ignore additional information, and will appreciate if you list it properly. Only list as an award if publication was the result of an award.
