Transfer Resume

Hi All,

I haven't found a recent thread on this topic, so I figured I'd start a new one.

I am currently a junior at a non-target(Fina/acco). I attended a four-year university for my freshman year(engineering) and transferred to my current college where I will spend an additional 4 years(5 total), so I have the 150 credits for the CPA.

My question is: should I display both colleges on my resume? My GPA is around a 3.4 from my freshman year school(3.6 current school), so I'd prefer not to display it and adding the additional school takes up a lot of room on my resume. However, I have no problem discussing my transfer if any questions come up.

Thanks for any input.

 

I am a college-switcher too and I do list both. Having studied more is not a downside.

As for GPA - just don't include it for your first college, no one would really care what your GPA was in the first year.

In your situation, I would go for an extra step and talk how your one year of engineering studies contributed to the knowledge of relevant industries, and thus you would be able to work in engineering-related IB groups. (Definitely do research on the companies of those industries and the industries themself, otherwise it won't work lol).

Hope it will help.

“Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon their shoulders is really a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don’t think. Become.”
