Has anybody figured out how to put Woodbadge training into a resume for a job?

Sure, patrol icon/totem should be included on the Resume.
And if you want to do good on the interview bring your critter collection
All joking aside the training is valuble both in and out of Scouting so it should be included. You never know, the person reading the resume could be an Antelope! A good ole Antelope too! Then having it on the resume is a big +

Sounds like a good idea, do it anyway you'd like.

On a more serious vane, I would include it without a lot of explanation on a resume. Scouters would know what it means. It would be a good conversion topic for others.

When I was younger (I'm 46 now), I never put "Member-National Eagle Scout Association" on my resume for fear of someone seeing it that was anti-Scouting (and thereby jeapardizing my chances for getting the job).
When I was about 30 I came to the realization I definitely would not work for or with anyone who is anti-Scouting.
I definitely would put WoodBadge on a resume. If a Scouter sees it you'll most likely jump to the top of the applicant list (you would at my company).

Well, it wasn't a resume, but when I needed to describe it to my manager, I went to one of the web sites and pulled the topic list and used it.
For a resume, I think I would use something like:
Wood Badge - Advanced Boy Scout Adult Leadership Training
and, keep the topic list handy for responses. If it causes questions during the interview I would be ready and (depending on the circumstances) let it lead into a general discussion related to Boy Scouting and the skills and experiences.
