Is including my education on my resume a red flag if its been 6 years since I graduated? I graduated December 2019 and my current job is my only relevant experience, so I dont have much to add that will fill up a whole page.

Im in PR so not sure if its a different expectation but I would personally think its completely fine. Knowing your educational background is still relevant to your skills and experience 🤷‍♀️

Leave off the year you graduated. Or…
Have you been at your current job since graduating? If yes then just fill out your responsibilities a bit more. Add all internships and any volunteer work.

Ive been at my current job since 2022- in between 2019 and 2022, I was working in retail full time

I have my education on there graduated in 2020 and got a masters afterwards but I don’t include my graduation year on my resume

college yes. high school no. also i feel like it’s a good way for HR to gauge your age?

You should definitely have your education on your resume still. I wouldn’t take it off unless I was decades in, personally

Recently switched jobs and had several thousand available to rollover into my new 401K. Also just got married/had a wild bachelor party/overspent on honeymoon, which led to me having about the same amount in high interest credit card debt. Definitely feel like it’s a one time thing and I know how to budget better for trips now. So, my question is, should I use my old 401K amount to just pay off my debt, taking the 10% hit in penalties, or should I roll it over to my new employers 401K?
