What all items can I put on my resume without it looking tacky? [closed]
- by Earlz
I've been searching for work, and so far it's very hard for me to even get a call back. So, I'm looking at adding things to my resume. I know a resume doesn't need to be over 2 pages. I have the basics:
Objective/personal info
General skills (languages known, etc)
Work experience
Some things I'm considering adding to it:
My college education (though I don't have a degree)
Awards given for programming skills in high school (curriculum contests and AP test scores)
Open source projects?
Would any of these 3 items look tacky? And I only have about 1.5 years of work experience, but I've been programming since I was 13. Is there anything else I can add to my resume that would give me a better chance of getting my foot in the door?
