GRE scores on resume? EDIT: ok ok, I got it

[WhiteKnight]

I'll be finishing a master's in mechanical engineering this spring and I've begun looking around for jobs. Should I include my GRE scores on my resume, or is should I leave them off? I did rather well, but I'm still not sure. Thanks.

I would say NOT to put them on... GPA maybe....
I did not put any 'numbers' on my resume when getting a job and it worked fine

I have never heard of someone putting standardized test scores on resumes so I would say leave it off.

This is the real world, the answer is no.

No. GRE is for grad school admission only.

If they are bad, then obviously don't do it.

If they are good, then you are just bragging about how you did well on an easy, easy test* that isn't applicable to anything in the real world. Bragging isn't a quality that most employers look for. Heck, most college job advisors suggest not to even include GPA if you have a graduate degree (even if the GPA is perfect). You are in this group.

*Why do I say it is easy? When I took it ~7 years ago the math was what I covered in 8th grade and the logic was puzzles I did in 1st grade. Thus it is easy. Yes it was changed a bit in recent years, but most likely anyone who is far enough in a company to be hiring is too old to know of the change.

Yes. Put it right next to penis size.

Alright, alright, I get the picture. Thanks for the help.

GRE: hell NO!

GPA: If you want.
