Resume Tutorial  




Education

Depending on the type of job you seek, this section may be even more important than your work history.

Accuracy with starting and ending dates, degree titles, and school contact information is crucial.

List your educational levels attained, starting with your most recent. If you have taken college classes but are not pursuing a degree, list any classes pertinent to the position you are seeking. Include your high school or GED information if applicable.

A potential employer may thoroughly research your educational background based on the information you provide. You may be asked to provide your college GPA (Grade Point Average) and GPA for your major field of study. Make sure you have this information with you during an interview, whether you provide it within your resume or not. A general practice is to list your GPA if 3.0 or higher.

 

Education Examples:

Name of School. City, State. Degree, Major/Minor/Concentration. Date received.

General Educational Development Diploma, Name of School, City, State. Date received.
