Under what section in your resume do you put your side projects? Is it under Work Experience?
- komali2 10y agoI think a sociologist could write a thesis on the never ending argument of how a resume "should" look. Anyway I put them under "projects," right next to a couple company projects. The projects section is structured very similarly to the "work" section.
- bgnm2000 10y agoI have a section called "notable projects", which lists about 4 or 5 in detail (I don't believe that resume's need to be a single page). But generally - the cover letter is always more important anyway (and especially if you don't have an intro). I usually like to try and tie why I'm the right person for a role, to some specific work I've accomplished in XYZ side project.
