<p>Re: the resume</p>
<p>That’s very true and I agree. You don’t HAVE to put that you have a PhD on there.</p>
<p>However, I imagine that’s harder to let pass with a new PhD. “What have you been doing for the last 6 years?” is bound to come up if there’s a gap in work experience, or if that work experience happens to be, say, three years of TAing at X University.</p>
