Your educational background is an excellent opportunity to prove your qualifications and gain some bonus points for relevancy.

​

See how to list your credentials in the exact order:

​

1. Degree: Place your highest degree first. That means leaving out the high school info if you finished a university or college.

2. University: Add the name and location.

3. Dates attended: List your dates of attendance, mentioning the month and the year. There’s no need to be as specific as including the days.

For entry-level resumes, you may add the following:

​

1. Completed credits if your education is ongoing or unfinished. (Some college on a resume is better than none.)

2. Relevant coursework and major and minor to exhibit your knowledge of the subject matter.

3. Latin honours or your awards (e.g., making the Dean's List) to show your commitment to growth.

4. Relevant extracurricular activities for proof of job-related skills.
