You can bring up the "talmud" is highly regarded as a very difficult and analytical undertaking, often taught in top law schools to sharpen the mind, and standardized in the South Korean curriculum. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/yeshiva-and-smicha-on-resume-or-cv#post-354365 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:43:53 +0000 popa_bar_abba 354365@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>I think you need to avoid gaps on your resume, so if you were in yeshiva for 10 years after high school, it needs to be there. </p> <p>At the same time, I don't think you should expect employers to think it is anything special--it is at best a neutral. </p> <p>If you are in school, you might want to ask career services. </p> <p>As far as how to word it, try to pull out the parts they will be interested in. Like show responsibility positions. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/yeshiva-and-smicha-on-resume-or-cv#post-354234 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:33:37 +0000 coffeeman613 354234@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Does anyone have any insights into the advantages/disadvantages of putting yeshiva education or smicha on a resume. My question is directly mainly to professionals lawyers, health care, businessmen, IT etc. Anyone have any tips for wording for resumes and/or stories about yeshiva/seminary education in a professional non-Jewish environment. Thanks it advance. </p>
