Hey guys. I just got back from a meet with a lady at my college's career center, and a talk with a previous professor of mine.
When I voiced my concerns about exaggeration, the lady suggested several things, like:
-"Course work completed in [all the languages listed in my resume]". This seems very weak to me, but is the most accurate.
-"Experience in [all the languages listed in my resume]". Just cut off the "extensive." This seems like an easy fix. However, what if an employer calls me in and I still don't have the experience they're looking for?
The professor recommended the second one above, but said later that he probably isn't the best one to talk about these things (he hasn't had to apply to a job in years). He's going to refer me to someone else who might be better. Still, I think it's a toss up between the two above. I don't know which one to go with though. Like I said, I want to be accurate without being scoffed at (even though I'm aware people aren't expecting those 2 years out of college to have serious company experience under their belt)

Do I take you correctly that you're saying the post is trolling?

Troll the ancient yuletide carol.

Yes... I figured you were trolling in relation to the spate of posts/emails/spam that are all about how you can't call say Merry Christmas any more etc...
|

Actually, I am not familiar with the spate of posts to which you refer. I was out driving and I saw a sign on a lot that said "Holiday Trees," and I thought it very funny.
If you are offended, then I apologize.

I'm not at all offended... And the sign you spotted is exactly the kind of thing I'm referring to - it's not a holiday tree, it's a Christmas tree!!
I see how I misread your post though, and now it's my turn to apologise.

Oh I can definitely see how the post might be misinterpreted in that light. I'll add a

No access to video but I presume this is a Star Trek reference? Can you provide a synopsis for those of us videotically challenged.
