excellent point valkyrie!

the main reason i posted this on greek chat was because i was just dumbfounded (along with my boss and everyone looking over these resumes) that i got one from a recent college grad who took up 3/4 of page 1 of his resume with every single activity he participated in with his fraternity that included favorite parties and every office he held in 4 yrs. to me this isnt something you put on a professional resume.

on a side note he was applying for a job as a graphic designer. he listed "intermediate spanish and humanities" as relative courses and listed his past employment of a phone salesman for olan mills, a saleman at a&f, and a lifeguard.

if you know you have no experience and you arent taking any classes that are even in the ball park of the job you are applying for (especially a technical one in a big company)...dont.
