Education


I am 1 quarter shy of my degree in communications but am not currently attending college. I'll finish someday but for now, how do I list this on my resume and should I apply for jobs where a degree is required/preferred?

 

Hi Karenland,

Yes, you should definitely apply for positions that "require" or prefer a degree - I've seen many job seekers land positions without a degree when the ad stated the degree was a requirement. Plus, you're so close to completing your degree. You can format like this:

DEF COLLEGE - City, State

XX credits completed towards a <Degree Name>, years attended

When you return to complete the program, you can state that you're currently enrolled and include an expected degree date.

Best wishes,
