I'm currently updating my husbands resume and I would like to put somewhere on it that he's going to college..

Question

where would be the best place to put that? Underwhat heading? He's working full time and going to school but is looking for a new full time job in his current field of study. I'm just not sure how to go about adding this. Thanks!

Answer 1

Like all have said, just list the details under an "Education" heading, however....

Focus on his CURRENT JOB SKILLS and EXPERIENCE. What's he doing now, what's he done, what can he immediately bring to a new job. The education is great, it's needed, but more of us (employers) are looking for specific job skills than specific educations. The education area should NOT be first on the resume unless that's ALL he's bringing. When I review resumes I'm looking for information that matches the skills I'm looking for. Almost everyone has the education level I need, but few have carefully explained what skills/experience they have that I can use. Make sure the resume specifically addresses the job opening requirements.

Last, "ideal" is different than "what I'll take". My listings seldom resulted in finding the "ideal" candidate. Most people always lack something, so don't hesitate to send the resume out for jobs where he might be "missing" one or two items, as long as the big ones are covered, the rest is gravy.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Since he currently is in college and does not have a degree yet I would reccomend putting it at the bottom of the resume page. That way his work expeience at the top will be emphasized and the fact. Put the name of the college under the Education heading. State the type of degree that he plans to obtain and put the furutre date that he projects to have the degree, Make sure you do not abbreviate anything. Instead os UCLA wite university of California Los Angeles. Instead of B.S. degree write Bachelor's of Science. Etc Etc. It is more appropriate and professional.

If you like email me I have a sample resume that I can send back to you with this format.

Hope that helps.
