Resume help. What to leave off?

[nitropuppy]

I'm thinking of going to China to teach english. I have a few questions for what to put or leave off my resume. I received a Bachelors degree way back in 1983. In Aerospace engineering. However, because of my Navy carreer I had expertise in underwater explosives demolitions. After graduation, I was recruited by a demolitions company.I worked in that business for fifteen years. I later went on to become a pilot.(Helicopters)

Recently I earned my TESL certificate. I have two years prior experience in teaching chinese immigrant children. Now, I want to teach in China.

My questions are this; Because of the paranoid atmosphere regarding terrorism, should I mention this lengthy period of my life in explosives demolitions on my resume?

Also, can someone tell me what documents a University in China needs for reference. I have my university diploma, explosives licenses in numerous states, and my pilots license. Unfortunately, I don't have my old college transcripts. Should I request a copy from my Alma Mater, or will most China universities just call them to confirm my grade point average.

I don't want to arrive there unprepared. Can anybody help me here? I know this is an odd and unique set of questions, but any advise would help. THANKS!

I would call the demolition company a "construction company' instead (haha!). As for a transcript, I don't think it would necessary. Those hiring for teaching jobs in China seem to care only about the degree and not the grades. A copy of your diploma should be enough. I would recommend scanning it and keeping a .jpg copy as an attachment in your email account so that it can be easily sent to various places.

i leave out all the 'questionable activities' from my resume. (don't want them thinking

i'll be waterboarding my associates....) just list the company you worked for and say

you were an engineer. as for the navy, you don't need to give any details.
