678: Would this be appropriate to put in LinkedIn under work experience?
Would stating I worked at a shoe store for 3 months when I’m an Electrical Engineering (electronic industry) major? Because I had someone from an electronic company look at my profile and they just look, that’s it. But would saying i worked at a shoe store offset that? If I have something related to my major, then should I put that instead? I stated my store experience because I want to show I did something while I was studying, but it has nothing to do with my major, so I’m not sure if that’s right.

It’s good that you want to show that you were working while earning your degree. However, in this case I recommend leaving it off your resume and Linkedin.

It’s not relevant work experience to electrical engineering, so just leave it off. Plus, any potential employer won’t be impressed by only working three months in retail.

Instead, try to put things that are more relevant to electrical engineering. Internships, engineering club, IEEE, etc.

Good luck!
