Gosh darn it,
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007! I can;t keep up with Gretchen. Do you think it has something to do with that English degree? Anywho,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, Gretchen and I were chatting about her recent post when another thought on resumes came up. We see a lot of people that put their degree information on resumes (e.g. BS in Computer Engineering) but fail to indicate the university they have attended. What this typically says to me is that you: 1) could be lying about your degree, 2) think your school isn;t up to par,
Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, or 3) don;t care enough to include it on your resume. Here;s what I think: you should always include the university you attended on your resume. Many companies do reference checks and part of that check is to verify the university you have attended. If it;s not there it makes us go back and ask you for it and we;ll definitely know why you left it off then. If you leave it off,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, I may also wonder about the above and what else you;re leaving off that might be important. Again,
Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, it goes back to the idea that your resume is your first impression to the employer if you are an active job seeker. So make it count. Also note: in conjunction with your work experience, your alma mater is only one of the things I take into consideration. Heck, we have been known to hire folks at Microsoft without university degrees before Consider your resume to be a puzzle with each element a piece. The more missing pieces you have the less likely we will be to see the whole picture. And that is not the best first impression to make. zoë
