I always have. Nothing major, just a line or two saying I compete, teach and coach and responsibilities/achievements associated with that which are relevant to the job I'm applying to. Its what my uni careers service told me to do because as a new graduate I don't have a ton of past jobs and work experiences.

But reading this, it categorical says no you shouldn't:

So does anybody mention it on their resume? Reasons for putting it on? Reasons for omitting it?

Obviously for certain roles it'd be a very good idea to i.e. something where you'd actually be using your training like a bouncer or security guard but I'm talking other jobs here.

I do, because I have taught it, and most of my jobs have an educational component. As such, it is highly relevant experience given that it is the only experience to date where I have been free to develop my own teaching program.

My On the Job Training Teacher From High School Said To Put It On My

Resume So I Did. :D.

A sword is a weapon. Swordsmanship is learning how to kill. That is the truth. What Miss Kaoru says... ...is play-talk that only those who have never stained their hands can say. When I See That Female Again From BK. I Will Kick Her Behind For Disgracing Me And My Friends Honor.

Most Resume articles will advise their readers to only put information that's relevant to the position applied for. Having said that...

If I did a Resume per what the experts advise, I'd have a blank/small resume to hand in because the MA is all I've ever done for employment; both as an instructor and as an administrator.

What's one to do?

Always have, it makes it easier to explain I can't work overtime on training nights
