Put Your Education to Work

Page 3 of 3

Incomplete Degree

If you abandoned an educational program, list the number of credits completed or the type of study undertaken.

Experienced Job Seekers

If you are focusing more on experience than education, list the basic facts regarding your degree, including institution name, location, degree, major and date. For example:

University of Manchester -- Manchester

BSc in Economics, June 1993

High School Information

Include your high school and college information if you don't have a university degree.

Educational Credentials Lacking?

Some job seekers are concerned that their education doesn’t measure up to HR requirements. If you don't have a degree but have been participating in ongoing training, list your related courses, seminars, conferences and training in the Education section (create a list called "Professional Development"). Your training might be so impressive that a lack of a formal degree is overlooked. For example:

Professional Development Highlights:

·         Product Launch in a Global Marketplace

·         E-Commerce Solutions

·         Selling the Dotcom Vision

·         Increasing Sales Through Relationship Selling

·         Professional Management Programme
