Resume PSA - all FRC students should read

So I am in the process of looking for interns/co-ops to fill some positions at my company. I can't tell you the number of FRC kids I've talked to who HAD NO MENTION OF FRC ON THEIR RESUME
Did you make parts on a mill? Yes? THEN WHY ISN'T THAT ON YOUR RESUME?
Did you design a 4 wheel independent steering mechanism? Yes? I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!

Pro tip for resumes, if you are studying engineering and looking for a job on the field, saying something like " I built robots through all 4 years of high school" is far better than listing you were the manager at the local frozen yogurt stand. I don't care about yogurt, but given the limited amount of experience you have in this stage of your careers you should be embracing and highlighting something like FIRST.

And, as an added bonus, someday you might be interviewing with someone like me who understands how much of a rockstar that makes you. On the other hand if the person you are interviewing with doesn't know what FIRST is, then you get a chance to explain it and also sound like a rockstar. Get it??

Thanks,
Sarah

ps- I'm still looking for 1 rockstar co-op or intern pm me for details.
