Most hams are radio operators, not design engineers! --- End quote --- Ahem ... those licenses he's speaking of are not amateur radio licenses. Completely different animals than a ham license (which I have). --- End quote --- Indeed, I guess I should have been more clear that these are commercial licenses. One of which replaced the first class license which would get you hired at any broadcast station without the need of a degree. I know a few who got hired just because they had that license, and they weren't going for a broadcast related job either. |

My general radiotelephone operators license has been on my resume for more than 30 years. Cant say anyone has ever asked about it, but it fills white space. |

GROL / Phone with Ship Radar on resume yes. Amateur can go under personal interest or hobby. Had one potential employer ask during interview if I had my Handheld Jedi Knights's standard two meter radio slash lightsaber in the car. When I explained that I had used it in pre-cellular days to summon an ambulance in a multi car accident he changed his tone to one of respect. Steve |

I list on resume my ability to send and receive Morse Code at 10 WPM, along with the myriad of data communications protocols and technologies I am well familiar with. Besides engineering qualifications and experience, it has done me no harm. If anything it has sparked a few interesting questions. It is definitely worth putting obscure interests down. Remember, qualifications and experience are not everything in choosing a candidate. |
