If I've scored very well on a standardized test (GRE), should I include it to talk myself up as much as possible, or does it come off as assholish?quote:• Excellent at comprehending and communicating complex concepts in writing ([Scores here].) I feel like I should include it because it's some kind of objective (not really, I know) backup of my claims and my resume is a little thin otherwise, but I feel that I come off as an arrogant jerk having it in there. Should I take it out? This is for my "Base" resume, not for any specific job. Fill Baptismal fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Jul 3, 2013 |

It's okay to say you have great written communication skills but a GRE isn't the way to prove it. Isn't the writing portion computer scored anyway? Kinda, a person and computer both score it and if there scores disagree it gets sent for review. But thanks, I had a feeling it was gauche to include but wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving out a potential selling point. Is mentioning membership in academic honor societies similarly tacky?
