I love the challenge of trying to make everything sound exciting on your resume.
In college I wrote a silly article in some magazine that gets dropped off at frat/sor houses then promptly thrown away. I have this on my resume as "Authored an article that was distributed to over 75 universities nationwide"
My friend is an Enginerd who used to do Walmart builds and retrofits, when he was looking for a new job he never mentioned "Walmart" but played up his experience in "retail/restaurant/automotive/warehouse/etc etc" design.
---Serious Question regarding resumes-----
I owned and operated a lawn mowing business in high school that mowed about 10 yards a week and had a couple of friends that would help me.
I have this listed as a bullet point in my other experience section "Owned and operated a lawn mowing business while in high school with 4 employees".
At what age do I need to remove this? It was an awesome add when I was fresh out of college and I didn't have much experience and I still get asked about it in every interview...but now I'm in my late 20's and that was 10 years ago.
I feel like it needs to go soon or people will think "Wow, look at this 40 year old who still lists stuff from high school on his resume".
