Highlighting Division 1 sports experience [#permalink] New post  Updated on: 03 Mar 2014, 14:29
I played on a sports team in the past as a starter. Is it useful to say that I was a "Starting PositionName"?

Swap the word "Starter" with "First Choice"

Starting sounds good (and more common than first choice) to me. Not sure if it helps, as it is not showing leadership skills, but I am pretty sure it won't hurt.

I like "starting"

i think it's a very important distinction.

Agreed - "starting". And to answer your original question - no, it's not obnoxious at all. You could be the first string QB or the fourth string QB but if you just write QB, it doesn't give them as much insight. Definitely include it!

Starting is good. You should use any space in the application to highlight your skills and accomplishments, so why not?
