My friend did not include our 2 summers working at Baskin Robbins during HS on her LinkedIn profile

You sound cognitively impaired, OP.

However hard you worked at BR, employers are not going to believe that it was a demanding or intellectual job, therefore people are not going to add this to their resume if they have other more relevant/appropriate work experience. It doesn't mean they didn't enjoy their time there or that they've forgotten you (which is what you're worried about?).

And if you think BR is stressful, try working in an emergency room.

As an employer , I think it's a good idea to put everything quickly on your resume back to middle school. I go through tons of resumes quickly and keep many with the difference being something in common on them with me or people I know. I am impressed by food service jobs because they are among the most difficult .

That said , why are you offended?

MYOB....why do you care what someone else ( who is NOT you) is doing? Pay attention to your own life.

OP you are ridiculous. I worked in a grocery store as a teen; no it's not on my resume.
Hardest job I ever had, taught me the value of hard work and to always be nice to cashiers and service workers. That said,
Never put anything on your resume you don't want to do again.

How odd.

1) You don't put HS jobs on your resume, unless you are 19 yrs old and it's the only experience you have.

2) You don't put jobs from 30 yrs ago on your resume, unless you're still doing them!

You sound cognitively impaired, too (not poster above, btw).

Perhaps you should reach out and hire OP, assuming of course he's not trolling...that 1979 or 1980 reference makes this sound like a simple bad joke.

This. I'm in education, but none of my camp counselor years are listed on my resumes.

If two people were equal in qualifications . I would hire someone who worked in food service and didn't quit before someone who didn't. That means they aren't afraid of work and probably won't try to game the HR systems .

I agree. I am head of HR for one of the larger Fortune 500 companies, and i am always looking for someone with Baskin Robins experience.

You forgot to include the age range, PP.
Because that won't work for someone older. My husband has a 2 page resume and the work experience only goes back to his 30s.

I'm a C-level exec at a well-known start-up, and the first thing we look for is how folks spent the summer in 1979.

Oh no! I was only 4 in 79....I spent my summer throwing rocks into a creek and building stables for my Breyer horses. But I will be sure to update my resume today. Thanks for the tip!

This typifies exactly what is wrong in our country. People leaving summer jobs from 1979 off their linked in profile. I would call her on it, by name, in a very public manner (e.g. facebook or something) then immediately de-friend her and block her on both facebook and linked in. Next thing you know, cats and dogs will be living together. Real biblical stuff.
As for you OP, hold your head up high knowing haters gonna hate.
P.S. Is her name Larla?

How many rocks did you throw, and how far? How many stables did you help build? For how many horses? Make sure to add details -- they make a difference.

It was in 1979 and 1980. But many of the skills acquired are still very useful in the broader service sector.

You are LYING because I am the OP and it happened in the late 1990s.
