/lit/ job skills

You want to make sure your resume isn't too long, only a couple pages. But if you have the space then I'd say sure, go for it. People think Latin is a magical litmus test for intelligence, so it may help a little.

Which sort of jobs are you applying for OP?

You might get away with mentioning Latin, but it depends on the job really.


>Is there any way I can incorporate being well-read in ancient Greek philosophy without sounding autistic?

I don't see this working for you.

One page or two pages, no gaps. If you don't have much shit to fill 2 pages without fluff, shrink it down to 1.

And you can't mention the greeks unless you published papers in journals or something. Stick latin in there, under hobbies, at the bottom.

You should always focus on mentioning things important to the job, but there are almost no jobs where knowing multiple languages isn't nice to know. Latin is probably one of the less important ones as knowing it is mostly an academic thing, but I think it's still okay to include. Definitely include it if you have other foreign languages that you can read/write in, then it's just another bonus and won't feel too out of place. Don't mention philosophy unless it really has a connection to the job, which I doubt it does.

My degree is in environmental and natural resources engineering, but I don't have any of your typical engineering hobbies like programming; I just read a lot. So, I am planning on applying to some government research jobs and some major ag companies
