Education

You must include a section describing your education.
Follow this format:


EDUCATION

  • Master of Arts: Communications, University of Florida (1984).
  • Bachelor of Arts: Art History, San Diego State University (1982).
You can also call it Education/Training if you’d like to list any training received after your formal education ended.
This is also a great way to give more substance to an otherwise-skimpy Education section.
Yours could look like this:

EDUCATION/TRAINING

  • Ongoing professional training includes courses in sales, problem-solving, leadership, management, quality, market research and presentation skills (1985-present).
  • Bachelor of Civil Engineering, Trafalgar University, Algeria (1984).
If you went to college but didn’t graduate, you can describe your course of study like this:

EDUCATION

BS: Finance course work, Ohio State University (two years).

If you’re currently in school, include your expected year of graduation, it like this:

EDUCATION

MBA: Finance, Michigan State University (expected late 1999).
