Which education is more important?
 
So on my resume I have 4 or 5 extra lines of space. Under my education column I already put degree info. I have an A.S. and am currently working on B.S. Would it be more important to put high school with advanced diploma, flight school info, or do those two really even matter? Thanks...

Don't put high school - it doesn't matter in the slightest.
If you went to a larger flight school or one with an excellent reputation (ERAU, UND, Flight Safety) then I would list it. The purpose is to make a personal connection with the person who is reading your resume. If they also went to UND it might lead into a conversation.... which gives you an edge because of that personal connection. Make sense?

Otherwise, you can list associations you belong to, awards, achievements or even interests. Be careful with interests. You don't want to be generic (long walks on the beach stuff) these should be real passions.

Again, you want to connect on another level with the person who is reading your resume.

Hope this helps!
Lori
