Resume Question- where to put teaching assistant experienceIf you served as a TA during college should that go under your education section or should it go under your jobs/experience section? Thanks!

If you have a good amount of solid work experience, then you could leave the TA part off. If you feel like you need to pad your resume though, you might want to leave it on. I think that'll just be a judgement call for you. -
