I'm embarking on my first job search since joining a large software company in San Francisco. I've worked for this company for nearly 5 years (plus a summer internship prior to being hired).
Prior to the internship I worked for a local grocery store for 5 years, and as a laborer during summers.
Should I include those unrelated jobs on my resume? It seems like the general advice is yes, but they are so unrelated/insignificant that I worry they could make me seem more inexperienced then I currently am. However, without them I only have this 5 year span of job history.
