Journal on Resume

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Jun 16, 2016 10:11 pm

The school I attend automatically extends top journal membership to top 10% of class. I am within that range, but invitations have not yet been extended. Is it safe to include membership on my resume?

No. You are not on the journal yet, so don't put it on your resume.

Fair enough. Is it better to submit mass mail earlier and update with LR membership once formally invited? Or to wait until invitation is extended to apply anywhere?

Here's a related question: If I get an offer for an internship for the fall (i.e., actually get it; not expecting to get it), can I put it on my resume for OCI, even though OCI may happen before I officially start the internship? Should I, if it's related to the jobs I'm applying for?

Assuming you mean you've been offered, and have accepted, I think you *can* put it on the resume just with the name of company/firm and job title with "To Commence Fall 2016" in lieu of a date. No description or anything because you haven't done anything, even if you know the type of work you'll be doing. Whether you *should* put it, I'll leave to others to give advice on that.

Only if you are going to accept.

I would apply now. Then use journal as an excuse to "follow-up" with an updated resume later.
