To add or not to add… that is the question.
As a hiring manager in Utah, I’ve noticed that some fellow Latter-day Saints include a line on their resume about their mission and others omit it.
Some of those that include it are very straightforward about what it was and which church they represented. Others are more subtle in their approach. I’ve noticed similar treatments (or non-treatments) on LinkedIn (a social networking site).
Personally, I’m a little torn. I’m not sure that it means very much on a professional resume but can see some value to including my affiliation with the church on my LinkedIn profile.
What are your thoughts?
