Put GRE scores on resume for GRE tutoring job?

I know this would normally be considered tacky. Just wondering if it would be a good idea for someone who's applying to be a tutor and has good test scores but very little work experience.

Only post them if they're really really bad. Cuz you know, "those who can't, teach."

Thanks, I think you're right. My total was 1490/1600, and I decided not to include it; employers are more likely to see the "14" and think, "Eh, that's not so great," than they are to round it up and go, "Wow, 1500, she knows her shit!"

Of course, I like the self-esteem-inflating buzz of rounding it up to 1500 in my head, but a stranger at a tutoring center might think I'm desperate and awkward for volunteering a score that's probably just mediocre among the over-achieving GRE tutor demographic.

For now, I'll stick to privately relishing my $160 test score as a pick-me-up on bad days. And maybe, just maybe, it'll actually come in handy on a grad school application someday!

Wow, just realized I totally misread your answer as saying to include them if they're "really, really [good]." Damn, I'm lucky there's not much reading comprehension stuff on the GRE.
