<p>This is more targeted at those on here that actually hire students/recent grads.</p>
<p>I haven't made a resume in 3 years because I've been at my current job for 3 years, but I'm about to transfer so I'm going to have to leave my current job. I was just starting to think about internships and so the resume came to mind and I realized at this point I have no idea what to include.</p>
<p>What should I list for education? Should I include High School? I just recieved an AS, include that? Include my current school with anticipated graduation date?</p>
<p>Now for work experience. I've had 3 jobs since I was 14, but none were engineering related. My most recent was an IT position which I had for 3 years so that is pretty significant. My other two were summer jobs, one was at a theme park and the other was as a sailing instructor. No idea if I should even bother with those even though I did them for 2 summers each.</p>
<p>What else is important that should absolutely be on there?</p>
<p>I’m only an undergrad but I can tell you, don’t include your highschool education. Unless you did something particularly spectacular and relevant to engineering, they won’t care.</p>
<p>As for what else to include, volunteer experience if you have any.</p>
<p>It’s sometimes OK to include high school information, particularly if you are a 1st or 2nd year college student. However, as someone who will probably transfer in as a junior or senior, I wouldn’t include that (though it would not be that out of place for an internship interview). As far as your Associates’, it’s an earned degree in a field relevant to your major, so you should probably include it. However no one will hire or not hire you based on that. Yes, you do include your current college, major, GPA (once you have one) and anticipated graduation date.</p>
<p>As far as work experience, it sounds like you a good record of experience. Include the latest job and go into detail on what you did and what results you achieved. I wouldn’t include the other two, especially if they were before age 18. If working at a theme park was the only experience you had then I would include it, but since you have other experience I would not. It’s fine if it’s not engineering work - you want to demonstrate your non-technical skills, as well (working in a team, taking direction, solving non-technical problems, demonstrating high personal standards, etc.)</p>
