Unrelated work experience on resume?
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:40 pm
So I am trying to decide if I should put unrelated work experience on my resume? If I do then it will have to be 2 pages, but I think it is preferred to just be 1?
I have conflicting views on this. I think that any work experience is good to include because it shows that you do a lot, but at the same time I wonder if it is irrelevant to admissions officers/would take up too much extra room. The work, by the way, is at an ice cream stand/restaurant that I have worked at for the past 3 summers.
I am currently an undergrad and will be going straight to law school (hopefully) so I don't have much other relevant work experience other than in my school's library/archives and a law summer internship.
Any help/advice is appreciated!
