David: How should we indicate getting a minor on a resume? [Is it worth adding?]
A minor is a good thing. It shows that you are well-rounded and have a high capacity to learn. Definitely, include it. However, I like "concentration" or "specialization" better than "minor". I note concentrations on my resume! Here are two examples:
Bachelor of Arts in French with a concentration in Zoology
or
Bachelor of Arts in French
* Specialization in Zoology
