Is it necessary to list your High School on a Resume if that is the highest level of education?


I have several years of experience in Administrative services and Project management but no College experience. I have not submitted a resume in over 10 years so I was wondering if companies today were only interested in seeing your level of higher learning or just omit the Education section from the resume?

You have 10 years of experience to list on the resume. Therefore your education is now the LEAST important qualification you have. It would be the last thing you would list on the resume, and if you want to put Education: High School Graduate you can.

That's the most you should put because you want to downplay the education piece and let the accomplishments of your experience speak for your ability to do the job.

When you construct your resume, be sure to put the accomplishments at each work location and not just the fact that you worked at so and so for x amount of time.

Example: Reduced office payroll 10% a week by combining jobs. Reduced call wait time 20% by training everyone to handle incoming calls.

I look at your resume and I say, "well, she's been in the business a while but so have three other applicants; why do I want to hire her?"

And remember, the resume only gets you an interview. It's the interview that gets you the job.

No, you shouldn't list your HS Diploma unless you are applying to a federal position. Omit it and focus on your relevant experience.

Education- HS Diploma. will do just fine.

you can look at it two ways. 1 - you dont want them to think you didnt finish high school. or 2 - they want to know how old you are by seeing what year you graduated in... since legally they cant ask you your age... If you are qualified for the position i would leave it out and let them ask you...

Yes. Otherwise, it will look like you don't even have a HS Diploma.

umm u sorta gonna have 2 sooner or later tell them u didnt go to college....cuz on the interview i am almost certain they will ask u
