How do I explain my education is in progress on a resume?

Question

How do you list that your education is in progress on a resume

(my degree is not completed yet)

Answer 1

just put attending or    2007- present.   I used this resume writing service in my area, this is the email address, ([e-mail]) you should try them, it only cost me $35.00 and I got a great job from this new resume, I never thought about the format that they use but the turn around time was less then 24 hrs. I would have to say it was the best service I have ever used and it was worth every dime. Also they let me pay through paypal.

Answer 2

College name, degree (programs of study), currently attending - anticipated completion February 2009.

Answer 3

This is a very common question, don't worry. The best way is to list it as:

_____ School, Teacher's Aide Certification, City, State, Expected graduation Month, year.

Answer 4

There are various ways to explain your education "is in progress" on a resume.

Some ways are more effective than others, however.

Here is a way that I have found to be highly effective:

Fairmont High School (BOLDFACE THE NAME)

Major: General Studies (or N/A)

Status: Graduate

And try this for colleges....

Grand Lakes College (BOLDFACE THE NAME)

Major: General Studies (or Business or Education or Whatever)

Status: In Progress

This works for any "education is in progress" situation. Just say it's "in progress" or you've graduated.

P.S.> Play with the boldface and italicized functions - it will make the education section look more professional.

Good luck!

  

Answer 5

Write the school and name of degree and then duration (2005-present): e.g. University of America   Bachelor of Science (Accounting)  2005 - present

That's what I do.  If they want more info they will ask.
