I have been working on revising my resume a lot and I need due to space, I need to remove on of my jobs during college. Which one would you remove? For reference, this is not my exact wordings or format, I'm just giving a little summary here. I am aiming for IB or big 4 advisory btw.
Research Team Leader Summer 2012
Researched, designed, and constructed a greenhouse with an aquaponic system with a team of my school's researchers to provide an energy free system for urban farmers to grow fruits, vegetables, and fish on limited land. We analyzed efficiency maximization within the system to ensure minimal energy would be used
Undergraduate Researcher October 2011 - May 2012
Researched the sustainability of producing algae oils in small green construction and the companies in the industry. Prepared a thesis forecasting the future use of green algae oil worldwide and its effect on the global fuels markets.
Intramural referee September 2008-December 2011
Referreed soccer, basketball, and other intramural sports.
Some people have liked the intramural one because they say it shows I do well under pressure. Also, I did it for nearly 3 years of college. The aquaponic one sparks some people's interest because they have no idea what it is, so it starts a conversation. I have also had one guy intrigued by the algae research, but only one person
Thoughts?
I'd get rid of either the intramural refereeing or algae research. The first one is the most recent and unique/interesting, as you said. Second one seems similar to the first so it wouldn't be a huge loss.
I'd probably lean towards getting rid of the intramural one but like you said, it's your longest tenured of the three so maybe not. Is there some way you could consolidate that one into an interests/other section on your resume? Something like "intramural referee for various sports for 3+ years." It would get rid of one line (maybe even more if you can just fit it onto another already existing "interests" line on your resume.
Are you able to group your research work, perhaps? Or as mentioned above, put the refereeing as an activity/interest.
