If you are a college student, your primary "experience" is education. So list it first and prominently, and only then list free software experience. Employers tend to be looking for good educational pedigree first (sad, maybe, but true). Having said that, it's good to participate in free software development because (among many other reasons) it will lead to further opportunities. Experience starts to trump college the older you get. After your first job or two, people care much less about your college grades. (Hopefully this will give you a sense of perspective about them when exams are looming.) -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work _______________________________________________ Ilug-cal-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://list.ilug-cal.org/mailman/listinfo/ilug-cal-discuss
