Is it okay to put these things on a resume, like winning a contest for example, more below in add details.?
When I was 6 I won the name the stage contest at Barnes and Noble, (and my name is on a plaque in the store) and a year ago I won a design an earth bag at Krogers. are these worthy things, or good things to put on a resume?

If they are related to the job that you are applying for then yes. However the one when you were 6 is probably too long ago to be worth putting on really. |

Don't put them on your resume. |

In my opinion, no. First, who cares what happened when you were 6? Second, all I want to know is if you have the proper education and work experience for the job. The less crap I have to wade through the better. |

Just the facts will do - they only want to know what you know about the job |

No, the stage contest would look just plain silly on a resume, and unless the job you're applying for is related to graphic design, the Kroger contest shouldn't be mentioned either. |
