Take out leadership experience on resume?
Hi, I'm a senior asking for resume advice!
I plan to apply for FT consulting and was wondering whether I should have a Leadership Experience section.
Currently, I have 5 internships to include, the oldest one being a S&T position at a BB.
I have the option to:
1. Have all my 5 internships under Work Experience without the Leadership Experience section.
2. Have 4 of my internships under Work Experience with the Leadership Experience being the President of a Consulting Club.
I know consulting firms value the leadership aspect, and yet the BB experience definitely has the brand name, so I am not sure which one is the best route.
Thanks in advance.
You mentioned that you have 5 internship - are the other 4 equally rewarding / eye-catching with the S&T BB? If not, you might want to consider taking away one of the other 4 internships you listed instead (which is what I do - I have 4 internships but only listed 2 to make room for leadership / extracurricular / volunteering activity).
After all, I always get questions on my leadership experience. Just my 2c for you to consider.
I was in the same situation. I held 5 internships, was president of 2 organizations, VP of another, and some more stuff.
I left all on and would elaborate on more relevant experience for different jobs.
It doesn't just show leadership, but your ability to handle pressure and multitask.
I'd frequently receive comments on how active I was.
