Default resume question

for those of you that put your resumes together recently.

do you put ALL your work experience down, like including the high school jobs?

Nope. I only put my college work when I was a TA, to show that I was managing people and their time as well as how versatile I am with theatrical workings. Otherwise I wouldn't have it on there.

I would argue the only time to put it on is if it is pertinent to the field you are applying to.

I JUST sent mine out for some internships. I ditched any job that was not related to my job field.

Also, if you have any design friends, have them build the layout and such. I did this and mine is fuckin baller. I even had some places say my resume stood out nicely with the design.

I have two versions, an executive summary resume which is one page, quick and to the point. The other is full blown job history.

In this area I will probably never need a resume again, which is nice.

Is the 6 months you spent as a sandwhich artist at subway really relevant to the job you're applying for?
