    Are you trying to craft a resume and have specific questions? Please ask them in this thread. 

    You can also refer to the advice in the ASCE Resume Workshop thread. You have until Monday, March 16 to submit your resume to be reviewed by the ASCE resume coaches.

    Thank you, Tirza for opening this dialogue 

    My question is...
    How important it is to mention my leadership positions in one of the ASCE Student Chapters?

    I was a board member twice and a member for over 4 years. I was very active with the chapter but when I wanted to create a resume I only had space to mention below education that I was a board member. 

    How have you set these positions in your resumes, especially as fresh graduates with internship experiences? 

    Regards,

    Hi @Hala Abdo

    @Danielle Schroeder started a discussion about this ​​topic a few weeks ago. There was some good advice shared on this thread. I'm interested to hear other thoughts as well!
