resume question

[IHateMyJob2004]

After a year of frustration, I'm doing the resume.

Simple question really. I have 5 years experience as a software engineer. Do I still need to include my college info, GPA, etc?

don't need gpa.

just list institution and graduation date.

EDIT: and degree received.

Awesome thanks. GPA wasn't the best back then, although not hte worse either. 2.7 I think it was wit ha BSEE form a "good" engineering school (Clarkson). Had a2.9 in major though, so that was OK.

You have more than enough experience to do away with the GPA crap. I think its used by college students who recently graduated and does not have much experience.

Good luck man. Btw what position are you looking for?

Ah... but here's a question... are you a licensed Engineer? if not, you cannot call yourself an "Engineer" regardless of whether or not you took an Engineering undergrad...

but yeah, I'm just being a $hit disturber.. don't mind me...

More relevant, GPA not needed at this point.
