EIT (Engineer-In-Training), also known as EI (Engineer Intern) in some states, is a certification awarded to those who have passed their FE examination and have graduated.<\/span><\/p>\n

They are now licensed to practice their work as an Engineer-In-Training in their state.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in certain cases, there are those who passed their FE exam<\/a><\/strong> but have not yet graduated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some have graduated but are still waiting to receive their certification or license number. <\/span><\/p>\n

If that is you, you may have some questions such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Do I include EIT on my resume?’’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Where do I put my EIT certification?’ <\/span><\/p>\n

‘What is the proper way of adding EIT based on my circumstance?’<\/span><\/p>\n

Or maybe, you received your EIT certification and are just curious about how to include it on your resume.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, here are your answers!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Should you include EIT on your resume?<\/b><\/h2>\n

EIT should indeed be included on your resume. There are different ways to add it depending on the situation of your status of certification. Do not include it if you are not graduating as planned or if you are planning to work in another state (EIT from that state or a PE would be needed instead).<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where to add EIT on your resume?<\/b><\/h2>\n

EIT can be added right after your name, or in the ‘Certifications’ section if you have other certifications to list. Put it in the ‘Education’ section if you have only passed your FE exam and don’t have the EIT title. You can also put it in the ‘Awards’ section.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As mentioned before, there are different ways to list EIT on a resume depending on different cases, so let’s get into them. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to put EIT on a resume – the 3 best ways to list it<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. You already got your EIT certification<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have your EIT certification, put it next to your name, in the ‘Certifications’ or in the ‘Awards’ section – make sure to include the state in which you are certified. <\/b><\/p>\n

If you are licensed as an EIT in your state, you can add it right after your name at the very top of your resume, without having to mention it elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though it does not go in-depth like the other ways, it is a precise method of letting the recruiter know this detail about you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, especially when you have a crowded resume, this can be the best way to add EIT.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you would like to give more details, you can also list it along with your other certifications or awards, with the state of your EIT credential and the date you received it.<\/span><\/p>\n
