I originally went with the traditional format (education, work experience, ...) since I could fill up a page or two that way. When I interviewed with an engineering firm for a design management position, the only questions they asked were about a design course I took. I felt that because it was a management position, they could have asked about the leadership and communication (two things I think are crucial in management) experience I have accumulated beyond that course from things like being involved in government, planning and hosting a school-wide event, etc. While these things have nothing to do with technical engineering design, they were useful qualities to bring to such a job and I felt like the interviewer didn't recognize that. So, I am thinking it might be more effective to reformat my resume using categories like "leadership", "communication", etc. to make it more apparent. Feedback, please!

For those that have interviewed with engineering firms, what can you expect?
