So I was just wondering if getting an award signed by the president and considering my young age at the time when i received it would help boost my resume or if I should just leave it off because it's just way too old? I mean if it was just another A-B Honor Roll I would've brushed it aside as nothing but I feel like this award holds some importance and thought I'd ask here first for some advice before adding it or not adding it.   | ||

On second thought, don't include it. You'll end up with too many awards, and they won't be relevant. | ||

It is an award given to students who keep an A-average for their time in school (middle school level, high school level) sounds like a "I got a gold star on my notebook once" kinda deal | ||

"Rob this guy has "likes to play video games" at the bottom of his resume. Thought you might find that amusing..." I told him to be sure which video games he likes, if he says starcraft hire immediately, if he says WoW or console games just get up and walk out. | ||

But if is more than 5 years ago, you dont need to include it. Did you get it before college? | ||

I am assuming you are a college student and the rule of thumb is never putting anything that happened before college. I don't really like that rule. My rule of thumb is more like "would you be comfortable bragging about this award to a stranger?" I'd include things like winning an international science fair or global spelling bee in middle school over some meaningless award no one has ever heard of that you received in college. | ||

If it was something really really awesome, then by all means put it in. However, generally if a college student has on his resume something he did back in high school, middle school, or god forbid elementary school, it makes it look like he hasn't been productive in college and has to go far back just to put fill up some space. | ||

1) it doesn't take away room for more relevant information 2) you're willing to explain about it, or at least tell a decent story, if asked in an interview | ||
