Resume PSA - all FRC students should read

[aryker]

I can verify that putting FIRST experience on your resume as a college student is a HUGE help when trying for internships in a technology-related field. As a Computer Science student, I got a great-paying internship with a major tech company before my freshman year of college was over, primarily because of my FRC experience in high school(not to mention the internship I had in high school as a direct result of FRC).

FRC has helped me get every job I have ever had (including all the design, analytic, and teaming/management aspects of it). Some employers (like mine) see FIRST as a positive.

I would at the very least give FIRST Robotics a single line so someone glancing at your resume can ask you about it, especially if you were very involved in it (I would equate it to how it is beneficial for Eagle Scouts to list that award on their resumes, even though that happened in high school). I'm a recruiter. I would ask you about it in an interview.
